CAS 5205-34-5: 5-Decanol

Description: 5-Decanol, with the CAS number 5205-34-5, is a straight-chain alcohol characterized by its ten carbon atoms and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group located on the fifth carbon of the chain. This structure classifies it as a primary alcohol. 5-Decanol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a mild, pleasant odor. It is moderately soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which allows for hydrogen bonding, while also being soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether. The compound has a relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain alcohols, reflecting its larger molecular size. 5-Decanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of esters, and in the formulation of surfactants and emulsifiers. Additionally, it may have applications in the cosmetic and personal care industries due to its emollient properties. As with many alcohols, it should be handled with care, as it can be flammable and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
