CAS 123-96-6
:2-Octanol
Description:
2-Octanol, with the CAS number 123-96-6, is a straight-chain fatty alcohol characterized by its eight-carbon structure and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group located on the second carbon. This compound is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and has a mild, pleasant odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. 2-Octanol exhibits a boiling point that is higher than that of shorter-chain alcohols, indicative of its larger molecular size and increased van der Waals forces. It is commonly used as a solvent, in the production of surfactants, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 2-octanol can be involved in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation. Its properties make it relevant in both industrial applications and research settings, particularly in the fields of organic chemistry and materials science. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health effects upon exposure, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
