5-Undecanol is a straight-chain fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C11H24O. It is characterized by a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties to the molecule. This dual nature makes 5-undecanol a useful compound in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. The compound has a relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain alcohols, reflecting its larger molecular size. 5-Undecanol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long carbon chain. It is also known for its potential use in the production of biodiesel and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
