1,10-Decanediol is an organic compound that belongs to the group of glycols. It has a melting point of 117°C and a boiling point of 285°C. 1,10-Decanediol is an asymmetric molecule with two different stereoisomers: cis-1,10-decanediol and trans-1,10-decanediol. The melting point for cis-1,10-decanediol is higher than that for trans-1,10-decanediol. This indicates that the cis form is more stable at room temperature than the trans form. 1,10-Decanediol can be used in the synthesis of fatty acids and dna duplexes. It has also been shown to inhibit the replication of HIV by binding to its reverse transcriptase enzyme and preventing it from functioning properly.
