Measurement:
Boiling point: 443.5 °F / 445.5 °F (repeat detemination)
Melting point average: 444.5 °F
Description of key information
The boiling point of decan-1-ol is 229°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The boiling point of 229°C was determined in a reliable study.
It is supported by a value of 231.6°C taken from a second reliable study using a less highly purified sample, a value of 231°C taken from a reliable handbook, and a consistent result from another reference source.
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.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
