• Molecular Formula : C 10 H 22 O
• Molecular Weight : 158.28 g/mol
• CAS Number : 112-30-1
• Appearance : Colorless liquid or white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a faint floral or waxy odor
• Physical Properties :
  • Density: 0.83 g/cm³ (25°C)
  • Melting Point: 6-8°C
  • Boiling Point: 228-232°C
  • Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, and most organic solvents

• Stability : Stable under normal conditions; avoid strong oxidants, acids, and alkali.
• Reactivity :
  • Undergoes esterification (e.g., with carboxylic acids to form decyl esters for fragrances).
  • Can be sulfonated or ethoxylated to produce surfactants (e.g., decyl sulfate salts).
  • Oxidation yields decanal or decanoic acid.

1. Fragrance & Flavor Industry :
   • As a raw material for synthesizing esters (e.g., decyl acetate, decyl butyrate), which exhibit fruity, floral notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and food additives.
2. Surfactant Synthesis :
   • Precursor for anionic surfactants (e.g., sodium decyl sulfate) and non-ionic surfactants (e.g., decyl polyglucoside), used in mild detergents, shampoos, and personal care products.
3. Industrial & Chemical Uses :
   • Lubricants & Plasticizers : As a lubricant additive or plasticizer in polymer processing.
   • Solvents & Dyes : As a high-boiling solvent for coatings, inks, and textile auxiliaries.
   • Pesticides : As an emulsifier in agricultural formulations.
4. Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics :
   • In cosmetic formulations as an emollient, thickener, or emulsion stabilizer; in pharmaceuticals as a solvent or excipient.

• Toxicity :
  • Low toxicity; oral LD 50 in rats: ~3000 mg/kg. May cause mild skin/eye irritation; avoid prolonged contact.
• Safety Labels :
  • GHS hazard category: Skin/eye irritant (Category 2).
  • Precautionary statements: Wear gloves and eye protection; store away from ignition sources.
• Storage Conditions :
  • Store in a cool, ventilated area, sealed to prevent moisture and oxidation. Keep separate from oxidizing agents.
