The phase state and molecular dynamics of 1-dodecanol are studied in the bulk and under nanometer confinement within self-ordered nanoporous alumina templates. A rotator phase in the bulk is absent under confinement. A nematic liquid crystalline phase is formed instead in pores with diameters from 400 down to 25 nm. Results are based on the changes in temperature-dependence of dielectric permittivity and X-ray diffraction. under confinement is explored, and the limits of the nematic-to-isotropic and crystalline-to-nematic phase transi
