Description:1,12-Dodecanediol, with the CAS number 5675-51-4, is a straight-chain aliphatic diol characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups located at the terminal ends of a twelve-carbon chain. This compound is a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 1,12-Dodecanediol is known for its applications in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a plasticizer in polymer formulations. Its structure contributes to its properties, including a relatively high melting point and boiling point compared to shorter-chain diols. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity and is considered to have a favorable environmental profile, making it suitable for various industrial applications. The compound can also participate in chemical reactions typical of alcohols, such as esterification and oxidation, further expanding its utility in organic synthesis and materials science.
