Description:1-Nonanol, with the CAS number 143-08-8, is a straight-chain fatty alcohol that consists of nine carbon atoms and is classified as a primary alcohol. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The molecular formula of 1-nonanol is C9H20O, and it has a relatively high boiling point compared to shorter-chain alcohols due to its increased molecular weight and hydrophobic character. This compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. 1-Nonanol is used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, and in the synthesis of fragrances and flavoring agents. Additionally, it can serve as a solvent in chemical processes. Its properties make it valuable in the cosmetic and personal care industries, as well as in the production of detergents and other cleaning products. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
