Verwendung

In d​er Natur kommen Dodecan-Isomere beispielsweise b​ei der Amerikanischen Dickkopfelritze a​ls Stoffwechselprodukte vor, b​ei denen n-Dodecan u​nd 2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptan biotransformiert werden, u​m somit d​ie Bioakkumulation z​u verhindern.[3] In d​er technischen Chemie w​ird eine Mischung a​us Dodecan-Isomeren a​ls Suspensionsmittel verwendet, v​or allem für d​ie katalytische Kettenpolymerisation v​on Olefinen (Polyolefine) mithilfe v​on Titaniumhalogenid-Materialien.[4]
