Docosylbenzene
CAS 68855-24-3
Sometimes the most important fact about a chemical is that it is not one chemical. CAS 68855-24-3 is a long-chain alkylbenzene family.
CAS 68855-24-3 is a useful reminder that a commercial chemical name can look more precise than the substance really is. Although often called docosylbenzene, regulatory sources identify the CAS more broadly as C14-30 alkylbenzene derivatives. The chain-length distribution affects melting, viscosity, oil solubility, and downstream sulfonation chemistry. In industrial materials, the molecular distribution may be part of the design - not an impurity to be ignored.
