DODECYLBENZENE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Dodecylbenzene (hard type) is a major intermediate in the production of detergents. Sodium linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, synthesized from linear alkylbenzene, has excellent surface activity, detergency and biodegradability.

Definition

A hydrocarbon,CH₃(CH₂)₁₁C₆H₅, manufactured by aFriedel–Crafts reaction between dodecene(CH₃(CH₂)₉CH:CH₂) and benzene.It can be sulphonated, and thesodium salt of the sulphonic acid isthe basis of common detergents.
