CAS 593-03-3
:(±)-3-Hexadecanol
Description:
(±)-3-Hexadecanol, with the CAS number 593-03-3, is a long-chain fatty alcohol characterized by its aliphatic structure, containing a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the third carbon of a hexadecane backbone. This compound is a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It exhibits properties typical of fatty alcohols, including being non-toxic and biodegradable, making it suitable for various applications in cosmetics, personal care products, and as an emulsifier or surfactant. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts mild hydrophilic characteristics, while the long hydrophobic carbon chain contributes to its lipophilic nature. Additionally, (±)-3-Hexadecanol can exist as a racemic mixture, containing both enantiomers, which may exhibit different biological activities. Its stability and low volatility make it a valuable ingredient in formulations requiring emulsification or stabilization of oil and water phases.
