Hexane and other volatile hydrocarbons (petroleum ether) present an aspiration risk. [26] n-Hexane is sometimes used as a denaturant for alcohol, and as a cleaning agent in the textile, furniture, and leather industries. It is slowly being replaced with other solvents. [27] Like gasoline, hexane is highly volatile and is an explosion risk.
1-Hexanol (IUPAC name hexan-1-ol) is an organic alcohol with a six-carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 5 OH. This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with diethyl ether and ethanol.
The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
Aliphatic compounds can be saturated (in which all the C-C bonds are single requiring the structure to be completed, or 'saturated', by hydrogen) like hexane, or unsaturated, like hexene and hexyne. Open-chain compounds, whether straight or branched, and which contain no rings of any type, are always aliphatic.
2-Hexanol (hexan-2-ol) is a six-carbon alcohol in which the hydroxy group (OH) is located on the second carbon atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 14 O or C 6 H 13 OH. It is an isomer of the other hexanols. 2-Hexanol has a chiral center and can be resolved into two different enantiomers. Its toxicity is based on metabolism to hexane-2,5-dione. [3]
It is both a glycol and a secondary alcohol. [1] It is a colorless water-soluble viscous liquid. [2] [3] [4] The chemical properties are well understood and have been extensively reported and studied. [5] It has the IUPAC name of hexane-2,5-diol [6] and the CAS Registry Number CAS 2935-44-6. [7]
Hexadecyl is an alkyl radical of carbon and hydrogen derived from hexadecane, with formula C 16 H 33 and with mass 225.433, [11] occurring especially in cetyl alcohol. [12] It confers strong hydrophobicity on molecules containing it. [13]
Cyclohexane is a cycloalkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 12.Cyclohexane is non-polar.Cyclohexane is a colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, reminiscent of cleaning products (in which it is sometimes used).
