Chemical Properties
Typical Reactions of Alcohols:
Esterification: Reacts with fatty acids (e.g., stearic acid, oleic acid) to form esters, used in synthesizing lubricants and cosmetic additives (e.g., 2-hexyldecyl stearate).
Oxidation: Oxidized to 2-hexyldecanal by weak oxidants (e.g., PCC), and to 2-hexyldecanoic acid by strong oxidants.
Etherification: Reacts with ethylene oxide to form polyoxyethylene ethers, serving as raw materials for nonionic surfactants.
Influence of Branched Structure:
The long-chain branch (hexyl substitution) endows it with low volatility, high lubricity, and good thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature environments.
Main Applications
Cosmetics and Personal Care:
Emollients and Emulsifiers:
Synthesized esters (e.g., 2-hexyldecyl palmitate) are used in skincare creams and lotions to improve skin feel and enhance moisturization.
Acts as a component of nonionic emulsifiers to stabilize oil-in-water systems (e.g., sunscreens, makeup removers).
Typical Products: High-end anti-wrinkle serums, baby skincare products (low irritation).
Industrial Lubricants:
Metalworking Aids: Added to cutting oils and gear oils to enhance lubrication and oxidation resistance, reducing wear on metal components.
Textile Auxiliaries: Used to synthesize softeners and smoothing agents, improving fiber texture and textile processing efficiency.
Surfactant Synthesis:
Prepares sulfates (e.g., sodium 2-hexyldecyl sulfate) or phosphate esters as anionic surfactants for detergents and oilfield flooding agents.
Other Applications:
Plasticizers (improving flexibility of PVC resins);
Coating dispersants (enhancing pigment dispersion in oil phases).
Safety and Storage
Toxicity:Low toxicity, with acute oral LD50 (rats) >5000 mg/kg, classified as practically non-toxic.
Low irritation to skin and eyes, but avoid contact with high concentrations (skin exposure limit recommended: <10%).
Protective Measures:
Wear protective gloves and goggles during operation; avoid inhaling vapors (use in a fume hood is recommended).
Storage Conditions:
Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers, away from fire sources. Packaged in iron or plastic drums, with a shelf life of typically 2-3 years.
