| Application: | 1-Dodecanol may be used in the synthesis of the following: • Monododecyl glyceryl ethers via etherification by reacting with glycerol in the presence of 10mol% of 1-bromododecane. • ω- and (ω-1)-Hydroxy derivatives via hydroxylation reaction catalyzed by frog liver microsomes. • Dodecanal via oxidation in the presence of sodium bromate and ruthenium catalyst. It may be used to extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples via dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction technique. |
