Introduction
Dodecyl alcohol, also known as dodecyl alcohol or dococosanol, is an organic compound. It is a solid, colorless and odorless with a special fragrance.
Dodecyl alcohol has the following properties:
2. Insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol.
3. It has good stability and low volatility.
4. It has good lubricating properties and can be used as a lubricant.
The main uses of dodecyl alcohol include the following:
1. As a lubricant, it is used for the lubrication of industrial equipment and machinery.
2. As a raw material for surfactants, it can be used to prepare detergents and detergents.
3. As a solvent and diluent for dyes and inks.
4. Used as a raw material for synthetic flavors, often used in perfume and fragrance manufacturing.
The preparation method of dodecyl alcohol can be synthesized by the following methods:
1. Hydroreduction of stearate catalyzed by potassium hydroxide.
2. Through the hydrogenation reaction of dodecene.
1. Although dodecyl alcohol is a relatively safe compound, it still needs to be stored tightly sealed and avoid contact with oxygen to prevent oxidation.
2. Avoid violent reactions with strong oxidants and acids.
