Tetradecane Specification

The IUPAC name of this chemical is tetradecane. With the CAS registry number 629-59-4, it is also named as n-Tetradecane. The product's categories are Analytical Chemistry; n-Paraffins (GC Standard); Standard Materials for GC; Acyclic; Alkanes; Organic Building Blocks; Alpha Sort; Chemical Class; Hydrocarbons; NeatsVolatiles / Semivolatiles; TA - TE; T-ZAlphabetic. It is colorless liquid which is flammable by fire, heat and oxidants. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. In addition, Tetradecane may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid. So the storage environment should be ventilate, low-temperature and dry.

The other characteristics of this product can be summarized as: (1)ACD/LogP: 8.19; (2)# of Rule of 5 Violations: 1; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): 8.19; (4)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): 8.19; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 994777.5; (6)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 994777.5; (7)ACD/KOC (pH 5.5): 683503.31; (8)ACD/KOC (pH 7.4): 683503.31; (9)#H bond acceptors: 0; (10)#H bond donors: 0; (11)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 11; (12)Index of Refraction: 1.428; (13)Molar Refractivity: 66.9 cm3; (14)Molar Volume: 259.6 cm3; (15)Polarizability: 26.52×10-24 cm3; (16)Surface Tension: 26.5 dyne/cm; (17)Enthalpy of Vaporization: 47.14 kJ/mol; (18)Vapour Pressure: 0.0285 mmHg at 25°C; (19)Rotatable Bond Count: 11; (20)Exact Mass: 198.234751; (21)MonoIsotopic Mass: 198.234751; (22)Heavy Atom Count: 14; (23)Complexity: 74.

Preparation of Tetradecane: It can be obtained by 1-iodo-heptane. This reaction needs reagent CuCl2 and Mn and solvent H2O at ambient temperature. The reaction time is 16 hours. The yield is 87%.

Uses of Tetradecane: It is mainly used in organic synthesis and can be used as solvents and standards hydrocarbon. It is also used as standard material in chromatographic analysis.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
It may cause lung damage if swallowed and vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so people should not breathe vapour and avoid contact with skin and eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomitting; seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. 

People can use the following data to convert to the molecule structure.
