N-NONADECANE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystalline solid

Uses

Nonadecane is a long chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Nonadecane is found in tar from coal and other forssil organic matter. Nonadecane is used as a fragrance agent in cosmetics and perfumes.

Uses

n-Nonadecane is used as a fragrance agent in cosmetics and perfumes. It is used by egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis to discriminate between female and male hosts.

Definition

ChEBI: A straight-chain alkane with 19 carbon atoms. It has been found as a component of essential oils isolated from Artemisia armeniaca.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as N-NONADECANE, may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid. Charring of the hydrocarbon may occur followed by ignition of unreacted hydrocarbon and other nearby combustibles. In other settings, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons are mostly unreactive. They are not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents. When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, they burn exothermically to produce carbon dioxide and water.
