3,7-dimethyl-1-octanol

Description:

3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol is a branched-chain fatty alcohol characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and two methyl groups located at the 3rd and 7th carbon positions. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, commonly used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Its molecular formula is C10H22O, indicating it contains ten carbon atoms, twenty-two hydrogen atoms, and one hydroxyl group. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its solubility in organic solvents while rendering it less soluble in water. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol exhibits moderate volatility and has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger alcohols. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact. Additionally, it is classified as a flammable liquid, necessitating proper storage and handling procedures to mitigate fire hazards.

3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol

CAS: 106-21-8

3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol is a natural compound that is used as a model organism to study the effects of cationic surfactants and detergent compositions on bacteria. It can be found in the odorant binding protein (OBP) of Streptomyces lavendulae where it binds to chlorine atoms. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to hydroxyl groups and fatty acid chains in proteins.
This compound is also used as an ingredient in detergent compositions and glycol ethers. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol has been reported to have a phenolic odor that is likely due to its ability to bind with tryptophan residues at high pH.
