(3R)-3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol

Description:

(3R)-3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol is a chiral alcohol characterized by its branched structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the first carbon of an octane chain. This compound features two methyl groups located at the third and seventh positions of the carbon chain, contributing to its unique stereochemistry and physical properties. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a characteristic odor typical of alcohols. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts hydrophilic characteristics, while the long hydrocarbon chain provides hydrophobic properties, making it partially soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents. This compound is often used in the synthesis of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Its chiral nature allows for specific interactions in biological systems, which can be significant in applications related to pharmaceuticals and biochemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care to avoid ingestion or prolonged skin contact.
