CAS 544-77-4: 1-Iodohexadecane

Description: 1-Iodohexadecane, with the CAS number 544-77-4, is a long-chain alkyl halide characterized by the presence of a hexadecane backbone (a 16-carbon saturated hydrocarbon chain) with an iodine atom attached to the first carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular formula is C16H33I, and it exhibits properties typical of alkyl iodides, including reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The presence of the iodine atom makes it a useful reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds and in the preparation of other functionalized compounds. Additionally, 1-iodohexadecane can serve as a surfactant or a phase transfer catalyst due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain and polar iodine atom. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used.
