1-HEPTADECANOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white powder

Uses

Organic synthesis, plasticizer, intermediates, perfume fixatives, soaps and cosmetics, manufacture of wetting agents and detergents.

Definition

ChEBI: A long-chain fatty alcohol that is heptadecane in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

General Description

The polymorphism of 1-heptadecanol was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction, Raman scattering and infrared spectroscopy (IR).

Hazard

Combustible.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from acetone. [Beilstein 1 IV 1884.]
