DODECYLBENZENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

1-Phenyldodecane acts as a pseudo-stationary phase (PSP) marker in the preparation of microemulsion.

General Description

Colorless liquid with a weak oily 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 DODECYLBENZENE, 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.

Health Hazard

Liquid causes mild irritation of eyes and may cause allergenic responses on repeated contact with skin. Ingestion causes nausea.

Fire Hazard

DODECYLBENZENE is combustible.
