Also known as 1-hydroxydodecane, dodecanol-1, n-dodecyl alcohol, n-dodecan-1-ol, undecyl carbinol, laurinic alcohol, hydroxydodecane, lauric alcohol
Dodecanol , or lauryl alcohol, is an organic compound produced industrially from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. It is a fatty alcohol. Sulfate esters of lauryl alcohol, especially sodium lauryl sulfate, are very widely used as surfactants. Sodium lauryl sulfate and the related dodecanol derivatives ammonium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate are all used in shampoos. Dodecanol is tasteless, colorless, and has a floral odor.

==Production and use== In 1993, the European demand of dodecanol was around 60,000 tonnes per year. It can be obtained from palm kernel oil or coconut oil fatty acids and methyl esters by hydrogenation. It may also be produced synthetically via the Ziegler process. A classic laboratory method involves Bouveault-Blanc reduction of ethyl laurate.
