Description

Dodecanol, also known as lauryl alcohol, is a fatty alcohol with the formula CH3(CH2)10CH2OH. It is a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature. Dodecanol is a common ingredient in cosmetics, soaps, and detergents. It is also used as a plasticizer and a lubricant. Dodecanol can be synthesized from coconut oil or by the hydrogenation of lauric acid. It is a biodegradable compound and is not known to be toxic. Dodecanol is studied for its potential use in various applications, such as in the production of biodegradable polymers and as a renewable fuel source. Dodecanol is also of interest to researchers due to its potential to be used in the development of new pharmaceuticals and other bio-based products.'

Dodecanol: A saturated 12-carbon fatty alcohol obtained from coconut oil fatty acids. It has a floral odor and is used in detergents, lubricating oils, and pharmaceuticals. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

dodecanol : A fatty alcohol consisting of a hydroxy function at any position of an unbranched saturated chain of twelve carbon atoms.

dodecan-1-ol : A primary alcohol that is dodecane in which a hydrogen from one of the methyl groups is replaced by a hydroxy group. It is registered for use in apple and pear orchards as a Lepidopteran pheromone/sex attractant, used to disrupt the mating behaviour of certain moths whose larvae destroy crops.
