:Octadecanal
Description:
Octadecanal, also known as stearaldehyde, is a long-chain aliphatic aldehyde with the molecular formula C18H36O. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 18 carbon atoms, with a terminal aldehyde functional group (-CHO) at one end. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its purity and specific conditions. Octadecanal is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a faint, fatty odor, reminiscent of natural fats and oils. Octadecanal is primarily used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can be involved in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction processes. Its long carbon chain contributes to its hydrophobic properties, making it relevant in applications where water resistance is desired. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
