CAS 629-94-7: Heneicosane

Description: Heneicosane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C21H44, belonging to the family of saturated hydrocarbons. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 21 carbon atoms, which contributes to its physical properties. Heneicosane is a colorless, odorless solid at room temperature, with a melting point that typically falls within the range of 40-45°C, and it becomes a liquid at higher temperatures. This compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. Heneicosane is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a standard in the study of aliphatic hydrocarbons and in the formulation of certain waxes and lubricants. Its relatively high molecular weight and non-polar nature make it an interesting subject for studies related to phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons. Additionally, heneicosane can be found in trace amounts in some natural waxes and is of interest in the field of organic chemistry for its structural properties.
