Hexadecanal

Description:

Hexadecanal, also known as cetaldehyde, is a long-chain aliphatic aldehyde with the molecular formula C16H32O. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 16 carbon atoms, with a terminal aldehyde functional group (-CHO). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a faint, fatty odor. Hexadecanal is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain aldehydes due to its larger molecular size and increased van der Waals forces. Hexadecanal is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and in the production of surfactants and emulsifiers. Additionally, it can be found in natural sources, such as certain plant oils and animal fats. As with many aldehydes, it is important to handle hexadecanal with care due to its potential irritant properties.
