Description
Dodecyl aldehyde is an aliphatic aldehyde offered at a minimum purity of 98 % for synthesis applications in the research laboratory. Identified by CAS number 112-54-9 and the empirical formula C₁₂H₂₄O, it has a molar mass of 184,32 g/mol, a density of 0,83 g/cm³, a flash point of 115,5 °C and a boiling point of 215,8 °C. Supplied in a 50 ml glass container, this reagent supports organic synthesis routes that need a C₁₂ aldehyde intermediate for chain elongation or further functional-group work. The product from manufacturer Carl ROTH is further characterised by EG number 203-983-6 and UN number 3082, giving clear identification for inventory control and transport classification. Chemists use dodecyl aldehyde in the preparation of fragrance ingredients, surfactant precursors and other long-chain derivatives where controlled purity matters for downstream performance. Defined boiling-point and flash-point data assist safe process planning and equipment selection, while the practical glass pack size suits bench-scale synthetic campaigns and method scouting with medium-chain aliphatic aldehydes.

Questions about Dodecyl aldehyde, min. 98 %, for synthesis, 50 ml, glass
What is this article?
Dodecyl aldehyde, min. 98 %, for synthesis, 50 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
