Dodecan-1-yl acetate(CAS#112-66-3)

Introduction

Dodecyl acetate is a common aliphatic ester with the following properties:

Properties: Lauryl acetate is a colorless to light yellow liquid with low volatility at room temperature. It has an odor similar to acetic acid and is a compound that is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water.

It can also be used as a lubricant, solvent and wetting agent.

Preparation method: Dodecyl acetate is usually prepared by acid-catalyzed esterification reaction, first of all, dodecyl alcohol and acetic acid are reacted in the presence of a catalyst to generate dodecyl acetate, and then filtered and purified to obtain the final product.

Safety Information: Lauryl acetate is generally considered a relatively safe compound, but it is still necessary to follow the relevant safety protocols and avoid contact with eyes, skin and inhalation. Appropriate protective gear should be worn during handling to avoid inhaling its vapors. It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place and away from fire and oxidants.
