Octadecanamide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Octadecanamide is a white or light yellow granules. After recrystallization in ethanol, it is colorless leafy crystal. Soluble in hot ethanol, chloroform, ether, insoluble in cold ethanol, insoluble in water. Lubricity is lower than grease right, and the continuity is shorter. Thermal stability is poor, with initial coloring. With a small amount of advanced alcohol (C16 ~ 18) can overcome the above shortcomings.

Uses

Corrosion inhibitor in oil wells.

Definition

ChEBI: Octadecanamide is a fatty amide of stearic acid. It has a role as a metabolite. It derives from an octadecanoic acid.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Safety Profile

Questionable carcinogen withexperimental tumorigenic data. When heated todecomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
