(2S)-2-(Hexyloxy)-1-propanol

Description:

(2S)-2-(Hexyloxy)-1-propanol, with the CAS number 116422-40-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aliphatic alcohol structure. It features a propanol backbone with a hexyloxy group attached to the second carbon, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of the hexyloxy chain enhances its solubility in organic solvents while providing limited solubility in water. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits moderate viscosity. Its chiral nature, indicated by the (2S) configuration, suggests that it may exhibit specific optical activity. (2S)-2-(Hexyloxy)-1-propanol can be utilized in various applications, including as a solvent, in the formulation of surfactants, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, its properties may make it suitable for use in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, where it can serve as an emulsifier or stabilizer.
