- Conclusions:
- Boiling point of Hexadecan-1-ol: 607 °F (319 °C) at 760 mmHg (mean value of 2 determinations)
- Executive summary:
The boiling point of Hexadecan-1 -ol was tested according to ASTM-D1120 Standard Test Method for Boiling Point of Engine Coolants, the derived value was 607 °F (319 °C), corrected to atmospheric pressure.
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Value obtained from a recognised source of physico-chemical data.

- No details are available on the guideline used to determine this result.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Boiling pt.:
- 334 °C
- Atm. press.:
- other: see Remarks
- Remarks on result:
- other: The exact atmospheric pressure at which this result was determined is not stated, but may be assumed to be within the normal range of standard pressure.
- Boiling pt.:
- 334 - 344 °C
- Atm. press.:
- other: see Remarks
- Remarks on result:
- other: The exact atmospheric pressure at which this result was determined is not stated, but may be assumed to be within the normal range of standard pressure. This value is taken from an older edition of the Handbook (1990).
- Conclusions:
- A boiling point value of 334ºC is reported in a handbook of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information
The boiling point of hexadecan-1-ol is 319°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The boiling point of 319°C was determined in a reliable study.
It is supported by a value of 334°C taken from a reliable handbook.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
As chain length increases,boiling point increases. This is because molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.There is some evidence for decomposition before boiling for the longest chain alcohols in this group.
