The vaporization enthalpies and vapor pressures of 1-, 6-, 7-, and 9-heptadecanol, 1-octadecanol, 1-eicosanol,
1-docosanol, 1-hexacosanol and cholesterol at T = 298.15 K have been measured by correlation gas chromatography
using as standards, the even carbon n-alkanols from 1-decanol to 1-octadecanol and 1-pentadecanol. Fusion
enthalpies for the all of these compounds were either measured by DSC or obtained from the literature. Adjusted
to T = 298.15 K, the fusion and vaporization enthalpies were combined to provide sublimation enthalpies. The
sublimation enthalpies were compared to existing literature values. Agreement between the two sets of values
when available was generally very good.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
