N-TRIDECYLBENZENE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

In manufacture of detergents and surface-active agents. Can be sulfonated.

General Description

Colorless liquid. Combustible.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as N-TRIDECYLBENZENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Health Hazard

May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. May cause irritation.
