N-tetradecylformamide

Description:

N-tetradecylformamide is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrophobic tetradecyl chain and an amide functional group. It has a molecular formula that reflects its structure, comprising a tetradecyl group (a straight-chain alkyl group with 14 carbon atoms) attached to a formamide moiety. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and is known for its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a lubricant and in the formulation of emulsifiers. N-tetradecylformamide exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its melting and boiling points are influenced by the length of the alkyl chain, and it may display unique thermal and chemical stability characteristics. Additionally, the presence of the amide group allows for potential hydrogen bonding, which can affect its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
