1,2-Hexadecanediol

Description:

1,2-Hexadecanediol, with the CAS number 6920-24-7, is a long-chain aliphatic diol characterized by its two hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups located at the first and second carbon atoms of a hexadecane backbone. This compound is a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. It exhibits properties typical of diols, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can enhance its reactivity in various chemical processes. 1,2-Hexadecanediol is often used in the formulation of cosmetics, personal care products, and as an emollient due to its moisturizing properties. Additionally, it can serve as a surfactant or a stabilizer in various applications. Its long carbon chain contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it useful in formulations that require a balance between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. Safety data indicates that it is generally considered to have low toxicity, but standard precautions should be taken when handling any chemical substance.
