heptadecan-9-ol

Description:

Heptadecan-9-ol, also known by its IUPAC name, is a long-chain fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C17H36O. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group located at the ninth carbon of the heptadecane chain, which contributes to its properties as an alcohol. This compound is typically a colorless, viscous liquid or a waxy solid at room temperature, exhibiting hydrophobic characteristics due to its long hydrocarbon tail. Heptadecan-9-ol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, reflecting the behavior of many long-chain alcohols. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the formulation of surfactants, and potentially in cosmetic products due to its emollient properties. Additionally, it may possess antimicrobial and antifungal activities, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential health hazards associated with exposure.
