The Uses of 1-Pentadecanol
1-Pentadecanol may be employed as starting reagent for the asymmetric synthesis of jaspine B.
What are the applications of Application
1-Pentadecanol is a fatty alcohol
Definition
ChEBI: A long-chain fatty alcohol that is pentadecane in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group
Preparation
via Myristic acid and the Cyanide (Pentadecanoic nitrile) to the Pentadecanoic acid via Ethylester and reduction to the title alcohol.
General Description
Colorless liquid with a faint odor of alcohol. Floats on water.
Reactivity Profile
1-PENTADECANOL is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Health Hazard
Low toxicity. Excessive exposure produces some central nervous system depression. Prolonged contact produces skin irritation.
