Ethanol,2-[2-(9-octadecen-1-yloxy)ethoxy]-

Description:

Ethanol, 2-[2-(9-octadecen-1-yloxy)ethoxy]- is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes a long hydrocarbon chain derived from oleic acid (9-octadecen-1-ol) and an ethoxy group. This compound is classified as a surfactant due to its amphiphilic nature, possessing both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties. The presence of the long alkyl chain contributes to its ability to reduce surface tension, making it useful in various applications, including emulsifiers, detergents, and solubilizers in formulations. Ethanol, 2-[2-(9-octadecen-1-yloxy)ethoxy]- is typically soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit varying degrees of solubility in water, depending on the concentration and environmental conditions. Its unique structure allows it to interact with biological membranes, which can be significant in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and potential hazards, as with any chemical substance.
