CAS 7305-32-0

2-(Decylsulfinyl)ethanol

Description:

2-(Decylsulfinyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 7305-32-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a sulfinyl group attached to a decyl chain and an ethanol moiety. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both alcohols and sulfides, including moderate polarity due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The decyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its solubility in organic solvents while limiting its solubility in water. The sulfinyl functional group introduces unique reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical transformations. In terms of applications, compounds like 2-(Decylsulfinyl)ethanol may be explored in fields such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as surfactants, depending on their specific properties and reactivity. Safety and handling considerations are essential, as with any chemical substance, to mitigate risks associated with exposure or environmental impact.
