General description

Decane is an alkane hydrocarbon. It exists as a colourless flammable liquid. It is mostly used as solvent. Its vapors may be narcotic at high concentrations.

Application

Decane may have been used as internal standard in GC analysis for determining the product yield during iron-catalyzed cross coupling performed of primary/secondary alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagent.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
