16-Bromo-1-hexadecanol

Description:

16-Bromo-1-hexadecanol, with the CAS number 59101-28-9, is a long-chain aliphatic alcohol characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the 16th carbon position of a hexadecanol molecule. This compound features a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which contributes to its surfactant properties, while the hydroxyl group (-OH) provides hydrophilicity, allowing it to interact with both polar and nonpolar substances. The bromine substitution can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including the preparation of surfactants, emulsifiers, and intermediates in organic synthesis. Its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the bromine atom. Additionally, 16-bromo-1-hexadecanol may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. As with many brominated compounds, safety and handling precautions are essential due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with halogenated organic compounds.
