CAS 638-67-5: Tricosane

Description: Tricosane is a straight-chain alkane with the molecular formula C23H48, belonging to the class of hydrocarbons known as alkanes or paraffins. It is a colorless, odorless solid at room temperature, typically found in the form of waxy crystals. Tricosane has a melting point that allows it to remain solid under standard conditions, while its boiling point is significantly higher, indicating its stability at elevated temperatures. This compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is characteristic of long-chain hydrocarbons. Tricosane is often used in various applications, including as a standard in the analysis of hydrocarbons and in the formulation of certain waxes and coatings. Its structure consists of a long carbon chain, which contributes to its physical properties, such as high viscosity and low volatility. Additionally, tricosane can be found in natural sources, including certain plant waxes and animal fats, and is studied for its potential applications in materials science and organic chemistry.
