Dodecylbenzene is a key industrial intermediate synthesized via Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with dodecene. Its primary molecular formula is C18H30 and CAS number is 25155-27-9. This hydrophobic liquid serves as the essential precursor for linear alkylbenzene sulfonates.
Strictly avoid inhalation; use respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated spaces away from oxidizers to prevent fire hazards. Do not apply directly in clinical settings due to toxicity risks.
