5205-34-5 - Introduction
5-Decanol(5-Decanol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H22O. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of 5-Decanol:
Nature:
5-Decanol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fragrant and waxy odor. It has a melting point of about -1°C and a boiling point of about 228-230°C. 5-Decanol is compatible with many solvents such as ethanol, ether, and benzene. Its solubility in water is relatively low.
Use:
5-Decanol is widely used in industry as a solvent, surfactant and intermediate. It can be used to synthesize fragrances, lubricants, rubber and plastic additives, etc. In addition, 5-Decanol can also be used as an auxiliary agent in the paint, dye and textile industries.
Preparation Method:
A common method of preparing 5-Decanol is obtained by reacting a longer carbon chain alkyl bromide with sodium hydroxide under alkaline conditions. The process involves reacting the alkyl bromide with a suspension of sodium hydroxide and, after the reaction is complete, purifying the 5-Decanol product by distillation.
Safety Information:
5-Decanol is a flammable liquid with potential fire and explosion hazards. Contact with the skin and eyes may cause irritation, and the respiratory and digestive systems are also irritating. When using or storing 5-Decanol, avoid breathing its vapors, ensure good ventilation, and take appropriate personal protective measures, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves and protective clothing. In an emergency, such as a spill or accident, appropriate measures should be taken immediately, such as isolating the spill to prevent it from entering the sewer or groundwater system.
