1,3-Dioxolane, 4-decyl-2,2-dimethyl-

Description:

1,3-Dioxolane, 4-decyl-2,2-dimethyl- (CAS 87946-65-4) is a cyclic ether characterized by a five-membered ring containing two oxygen atoms and three carbon atoms, with additional substituents that enhance its hydrophobic properties. The presence of a decyl group (a straight-chain alkyl group with ten carbon atoms) contributes to its non-polar characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The two methyl groups at the 2-position of the dioxolane ring provide steric hindrance, which can influence its reactivity and stability. This compound is typically colorless and may have a mild odor. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a solvent or intermediate in various chemical processes. Its properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and density, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the substance. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical compound.
