:2-Dodecanol, (S)-
Description:
2-Dodecanol, (S)-, also known as (S)-2-dodecanol, is a chiral alcohol with the molecular formula C12H26O. It is characterized by a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its properties as a fatty alcohol. The (S)- designation indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. This compound is typically a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Dodecanol is used in various applications, including as an emollient in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as in the synthesis of surfactants and other chemical intermediates. Its properties make it suitable for use in formulations that require moisturizing and skin-conditioning agents. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxyl group (-OH) allows for hydrogen bonding, which can affect its physical properties and reactivity in chemical processes.
