CAS 629-01-6: Octanamide

Description: Octanamide, also known as caprylamide, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H17NO. It is classified as an amide, specifically a fatty amide, derived from octanoic acid. Octanamide appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid or viscous liquid, depending on temperature, and has a characteristic amine-like odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Octanamide exhibits properties typical of amides, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which contributes to its relatively high boiling point compared to hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight. This compound is used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, octanamide can serve as a lubricant and is studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
