1-Methoxydecane

Description:
1-Methoxydecane, with the CAS number 7289-52-3, is an organic compound classified as an ether. It features a straight-chain structure consisting of a decane backbone with a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to one of the terminal carbon atoms. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a relatively low viscosity. Its molecular formula is C11H24O, indicating it contains 11 carbon atoms, 24 hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. 1-Methoxydecane is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a moderate boiling point, which is typical for ethers, and it is flammable. The presence of the methoxy group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. 1-Methoxydecane is used in organic synthesis and may serve as a solvent or intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance due to its flammable properties.
