Description:4-(Heptyloxy)phenol, with the CAS number 13037-86-0, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure substituted with a heptyloxy group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its hydrophobic properties due to the long heptyloxy chain, which enhances its solubility in organic solvents while making it less soluble in water. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for potential hydrogen bonding interactions. 4-(Heptyloxy)phenol is often utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of surfactants, and in the formulation of certain materials. Its chemical stability and reactivity can be influenced by the length of the alkyl chain and the position of the hydroxyl group, making it a subject of interest in both industrial and research settings. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
