2-(undecyloxy)ethanol; CAS No.: 38471-47-5; 2-(undecyloxy)ethanol. PROPERTIES: This compound is a 2-(undecyloxy)ethanol appearing as colorless liquid. Its molecular weight is approximately 202.33 g/mol. It has characteristic mild odor. The compound is moderately soluble in common organic solvents like ethanol and isopropanol. It shows good stability under normal conditions but may oxidize upon prolonged exposure to air. Store in tightly sealed containers below 30 C. Protect from heat and strong oxidizing agents. Handle with care using appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin contact. APPLICATIONS: 2-(undecyloxy)ethanol is utilized in organic synthesis as surfactant building block as detailed in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. It's employed in preparation of certain emulsifiers mentioned in Langmuir. Additionally, this compound serves as intermediate for synthesizing alkoxylated alcohols reported in European Journal of Organic Chemistry. The undecyloxy group provides valuable hydrophobic effects beneficial in surfactant applications.
