1-Decanol is a straight chain fatty alcohol with ten carbon atoms and the molecular formula C10H22O or CH3(CH2)9OH. It is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid that is insoluble in water and has an aromatic odor.[3] The interfacial tension against water at 20 °C is 8.97 mN/m.
Production
[edit]Decanol can be prepared by the hydrogenation of decanoic acid, which occurs in modest quantities in coconut oil (about 10%) and palm kernel oil (about 4%). It may also be produced synthetically via the Ziegler process.
Uses
[edit]Decanol is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, lubricants, surfactants and solvents. Its ability to permeate the skin has led to it being investigated as a penetration enhancer for transdermal drug delivery.[4][5]
Safety
[edit]Like other medium chain fatty alcohols, 1-decanol is able to permeate the skin which can lead to irritation.
