CAS 7667-80-3

Hexacontane

Description:

Hexacontane, with the CAS number 7667-80-3, is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon consisting of 60 carbon atoms and 122 hydrogen atoms, making it part of the larger family of alkanes. It is a colorless, odorless, and waxy solid at room temperature, exhibiting a high melting point typical of long-chain hydrocarbons. Hexacontane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. Its molecular structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature and low reactivity, making it relatively stable under standard conditions. Hexacontane is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a standard in the study of hydrocarbon properties and in the formulation of certain waxes and coatings. Additionally, due to its long carbon chain, it has applications in the production of lubricants and as a component in various chemical syntheses. Safety precautions should be taken when handling hexacontane, as with many hydrocarbons, due to potential health hazards associated with inhalation or skin contact.

Hexacontane

CAS: 7667-80-3

Hexacontane is a hydrocarbon that is found in petroleum and natural gas. It is often used as a thermal expansion agent, viscosity reducer, or lubricant. Hexacontane has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by damaging the fatty acid membrane of cells. Hexacontane also inhibits the activity of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in mouse brain tissue and prevents HSV infection in mice. Hexacontane has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent against many strains of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Hexacontane inhibits microbial growth by binding to phospholipids on the surface of bacterial cells and preventing cell division. It also binds to boron nitride which can be used as a coating for polymeric membranes to prevent microbial infection.
