1-Hexanol

Description:
1-Hexanol, with the CAS number 111-27-3, is a straight-chain primary alcohol characterized by its six-carbon alkyl chain and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a mild, fatty odor, and is slightly soluble in water while being more soluble in organic solvents. The molecular formula of 1-hexanol is C6H14O, and it has a relatively low volatility compared to shorter-chain alcohols. This compound exhibits typical alcohol properties, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which contributes to its moderate boiling point and melting point. 1-Hexanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the manufacture of surfactants, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. Its safety profile indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and inhalation of vapors should be avoided.
