Description

1-Chlorododecane (CAS 112-52-7) is a high-purity organic compound with the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₅Cl, widely utilized in synthetic chemistry and material science applications. This colorless to pale yellow liquid exhibits a molecular weight of 204.78 g/mol, a boiling point of approximately 259-261°C, and a density of 0.868 g/mL at 25°C. Its long alkyl chain and reactive terminal chlorine make it a versatile intermediate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, Grignard reagent synthesis, and phase-transfer catalysis. Suitable for laboratory and industrial use, our 1-Chlorododecane is rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥98% by GC) and packaged under inert conditions to ensure stability. Synonyms include Lauryl chloride and Dodecyl chloride.

Application

1-Chlorododecane serves as a key alkylating agent in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds for surfactants and disinfectants. It is also employed in the preparation of long-chain alkyl derivatives for lubricant additives and polymer modifiers. Researchers utilize it as a precursor for dodecyl-functionalized silica gels in chromatography and as a model substrate in reaction mechanism studies.
