General description

Dodecane is a long-chain linear alkane that is commonly used as a solvent and the major constituent of kerosene. Also, it is employed as an organic phase in solvent extraction.

Application

Dodecane can be used as a solvent in the:
  • Extraction of hydrocarbons from Botryococcus braunii.
  • Pd/C catalyzed deoxygenation of stearic acid to synthesize biodiesel.
  • Oxidativede sulfurization of dibenzothiophenes.
