1-Chlorotetradecane CAS 2425-54-9

1. 1-Chlorotetradecane is a vital intermediate in organic synthesis, primarily used for producing surfactants like dimethyldimyristyl ammonium chloride, a common ingredient in personal care products and emulsifiers .
2. 1-Chlorotetradecane CAS 2425-54-9 is utilized in research for preparing nonionic microemulsions (e.g., with pentaoxyethylene glycol dodecyl ether and water), and as an internal standard in analytical chemistry, such as for determining chloropropanol in hydrolyzed vegetable protein .
3. Applications of 1-Chlorotetradecane also include its role as a chemical reference standard, a phase behavior study agent, and an alkylating agent in nucleophilic substitution reactions to form amines, ethers, or other derivatives .

1. Store 1-Chlorotetradecane in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat and incompatible substances. Recommended storage is at room temperature, ideally in a cool, dark place (<15°C) .
2. Keep 1-Chlorotetradecane away from strong oxidizing agents to prevent hazardous reactions, and ensure the storage area is equipped for handling chemicals .
3. Always 1-Chlorotetradecane CAS 2425-54-9 use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, and ensure adequate ventilation when handling 1-Chlorotetradecane to avoid skin, eye, and respiratory contact .

1. Immediately isolate the spill area and contain 1-Chlorotetradecane using inert, non-combustible absorbent material (e.g., dry sand). Prevent the material from entering drains or waterways .
2. Carefully collect 1-Chlorotetradecane CAS 2425-54-9 the contaminated absorbent and any residue into a sealed, labeled chemical waste container for proper disposal according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations .
3. Personnel must wear suitable PPE during cleanup; clean up spills immediately and ensure the area is well-ventilated .

1. 1-Chlorotetradecane is classified as an irritant (GHS07, Warning), causing skin irritation (H315), serious eye irritation (H319), and may cause respiratory irritation (H335). Some sources also indicate it may be harmful if swallowed (H302) .
2. 1-Chlorotetradecane is combustible with a flash point of 109-122°C (228-252°F). Its thermal decomposition or combustion can produce toxic and irritating fumes, including hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide .
3. Always consult 1-Chlorotetradecane CAS 2425-54-9 the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for 1-Chlorotetradecane for complete hazard information, first-aid procedures (P305+P351+P338 for eyes, P302+P352 for skin), and handling instructions. It is classified with WGK Germany 3 (high hazard to waters) .
