TETRADECYLBENZENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

aromatic colourless liquid

General Description

Colorless liquid with a mild odor. Floats on water.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as TETRADECYLBENZENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction. May attack some forms of plastics [USCG, 1999].

Health Hazard

Ingestion may cause intestinal disturbances. Contact with eyes causes mild irritation.
