CAS 109801-00-5: 1-Hepten-3-ol, 1-phenyl-, (1E)-

Description:1-Hepten-3-ol, 1-phenyl-, (1E)- is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a heptene backbone with a hydroxyl group and a phenyl substituent. This compound features a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms, indicating it is an alkene, and the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group classifies it as an alcohol. The (1E) designation specifies the configuration of the double bond, indicating that the higher priority groups on either end of the double bond are on opposite sides, which affects its reactivity and physical properties. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and dehydration. The presence of the phenyl group can influence the compound's solubility, making it more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Additionally, such compounds may have applications in organic synthesis, fragrance formulations, or as intermediates in the production of other chemical substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
