Dodecanol is a natural fatty alcohol that acts as a liquid conditioner, spreading agent and coupling agent.
Dodecanol is compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants and is stable over the pH range normally encountered in cosmetics and toiletries.
EC / List no.: 203-982-0
CAS no.: 112-53-8
Mol. formula: C12H26O
Dodecanol is a saturated 12-carbon fatty alcohol obtained from coconut oil fatty acids.
Dodecanol has a floral odor and is used in detergents, lubricating oils, and pharmaceuticals
Dodecanol, also known by its IUPAC name 1-dodecanol or dodecan-1-ol, and by its trivial name dodecyl alcohol and lauryl alcohol, is a fatty alcohol.
Dodecanol is a colourless, water insoluble fatty alcohol of melting point 24 °C and boiling point 259 °C.
Dodecanol can be obtained from palm kernel or coconut oil fatty acids and methyl esters by reduction.
Dodecanol, also known as dodecyl alcohol or Lorol, is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty alcohols.
Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms.
Thus, dodecanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule.
Dodecanol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa).
Dodecanol can be synthesized from dodecane. Dodecanol can also be synthesized into lauryl palmitoleate and dodecyl palmitate.
Dodecanol can be found in a number of food items such as watermelon, quince, prickly pear, and brassicas, which makes dodecanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Dodecanol can be found primarily in feces and saliva.
Dodecanol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
Dodecanol (systematically named dodecan-1-ol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)10CH2OH (also written as C 12H 26O).
Dodecanol, or lauryl alcohol, is an organic compound produced industrially from palm kernel oil or coconut oil.
Dodecanol is used primarily as a chemical intermediate for the production of n-Dodecyl sulfate salts, and in the manufacture of n-Dodecyl ethoxylates.
Dodecanol also finds use in synthetic detergents, lube additives, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, rubber, textiles, perfumes, and as a flavouring agent.
Dodecanol is a fatty alcohol. Sulfate esters of lauryl alcohol, especially sodium lauryl sulfate, are very widely used as surfactants.
Sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, and sodium laureth sulfate are all used in shampoos.
Dodecanol (Lauryl alcohol) is tasteless and colorless with a floral odor.

Industrial Applications
Pharmaceutical and Veterinary
Dodecanol is used to make surfactants, lubricating oils, pharmaceuticals, in the formation of monolithic polymers and as a flavor enhancing food additive.
Dodecanol is used as an emollient in cosmetics.
Dodecanol is also the precursor to dodecanal, an important fragrance, and 1-bromododecane, an alkylating agent for improving the lipophilicity of organic molecules.
Dodecanol is used as an Emulsion stabilizer for creams and lotions. It is a quality modifier of lipsticks.
Dodecanol is an additive for ointment base and cream conditioners.
Dodecanol enables a smooth touch to skin for cosmetic uses.
Dodecanol is an Starting Molecule for emulsifiers.
It can be used as a Thickening agent in some chemical formulations.
Dodecanol can be obtained from palm kernel or coconut oil fatty acids and methyl esters by hydrogenation.
Dodecanol may also be produced synthetically via the Ziegler process.
Toxicity
Dodecanol can irritate the skin.
Dodecanol has about half the toxicity of ethanol, but it is very harmful to marine organisms.
