:1-Hexadecanol, 2-methylene-
Description:
1-Hexadecanol, 2-methylene- is a long-chain fatty alcohol characterized by its linear structure, which consists of a 16-carbon chain with a methylene group at the second position. This compound is part of the alcohol family, exhibiting properties typical of fatty alcohols, such as being hydrophobic and having a relatively high melting point due to its long carbon chain. It is generally colorless and has a waxy texture, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, surfactants, and as an emulsifying agent. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group contributes to its solubility in organic solvents while limiting its solubility in water. Additionally, 1-Hexadecanol, 2-methylene- may exhibit antimicrobial properties and can be involved in biochemical processes. Its stability and low volatility make it suitable for use in formulations requiring long-lasting effects. As with many long-chain alcohols, it is important to handle this substance with care, considering potential health and environmental impacts.
