CAS 4181-95-7: Tetracontane

Description: Tetracontane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C40H82, belonging to the family of hydrocarbons. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 40 carbon atoms, which contributes to its physical properties. Tetracontane is a solid at room temperature and exhibits a waxy texture, making it similar to other long-chain alkanes. It has a high melting point and low volatility, which is typical for larger alkanes. Tetracontane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, such as hexane and benzene. Its structure allows for significant hydrophobic interactions, making it useful in various applications, including as a lubricant and in the formulation of certain waxes. Additionally, tetracontane can be found in natural sources, such as certain types of plant waxes and as a component of petroleum. Due to its long carbon chain, it has limited reactivity compared to smaller alkanes, primarily undergoing combustion and some substitution reactions under specific conditions.
