CAS 638-68-6: Triacontane
Description:Triacontane, with the CAS number 638-68-6, is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon that consists of 30 carbon atoms and is represented by the molecular formula C30H62. It is a solid at room temperature and is part of the higher alkanes, which are characterized by their hydrophobic nature and low reactivity due to the absence of functional groups. Triacontane has a high melting point and boiling point compared to shorter-chain alkanes, reflecting its larger molecular size. It is typically found in the form of white, waxy crystals or flakes and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. Triacontane is used in various applications, including as a component in wax formulations, lubricants, and as a standard in studies of hydrocarbon properties. Its structure contributes to its physical properties, such as high viscosity and low volatility, making it useful in industrial applications where stability and resistance to degradation are required.
