1-Hexadecan-16,16,16-d3-ol

Description:

1-Hexadecan-16,16,16-d3-ol, also known as hexadecanol-d3, is a deuterated alcohol with the molecular formula C16H33D3O. It is a long-chain fatty alcohol, characterized by a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail and a hydrophilic hydroxyl (-OH) group. The presence of deuterium (D) isotopes in the structure indicates that this compound is used in various applications, particularly in research and analytical chemistry, where isotopic labeling can aid in tracking and studying metabolic pathways or reaction mechanisms. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic chain. Its physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the hydroxyl group. 1-Hexadecan-16,16,16-d3-ol is often utilized in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and in the formulation of various cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
