CAS 6540-98-3
:6-Hydroxy-5-decanone
Description:
6-Hydroxy-5-decanone, with the CAS number 6540-98-3, is a ketone characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the sixth carbon position and a carbonyl group (C=O) at the fifth carbon in a decanone chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The presence of both the hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction processes. Additionally, 6-Hydroxy-5-decanone may have applications in the synthesis of other organic compounds, as well as in the fragrance and flavor industries due to its pleasant aroma. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
