Octyloxybenzene, also known as octyl phenyl ether, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an octyl group (a straight-chain alkyl group with eight carbon atoms) attached to a phenyl ring through an ether linkage. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively low viscosity. It is hydrophobic, meaning it does not mix well with water, but is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent or in formulations where hydrophobic properties are desired. Octyloxybenzene exhibits moderate thermal stability and can be sensitive to oxidation. Its chemical structure allows for potential applications in the fields of materials science, pharmaceuticals, and as a surfactant. Additionally, due to its ether functional group, it may participate in reactions typical of ethers, such as cleavage under strong acidic or basic conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

(Octyloxy)Benzene

n-Octyl phenyl ether (NPEO) is a chemical compound that contains a hydroxyl group and an ether. NPEO is chemically stable, but it is not resistant to oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate or phosphorus pentoxide. It has also shown high resistance to skin cells, redox potential, and particle size. NPEO has been used as a model system in the study of chitosan polymers and fatty acids due to its surfactant properties. This chemical was used in a study on the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the skin barrier function of human keratinocytes.
