1-Nonanol, 4-methyl- is an organic compound classified as an alcohol, characterized by a long carbon chain with a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. It features a total of ten carbon atoms, with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon of the nonanol chain. This structural arrangement contributes to its unique properties, including its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon tail, while the hydroxyl group imparts some degree of polarity. As a result, 1-Nonanol, 4-methyl- exhibits moderate solubility in water and is more soluble in organic solvents. It typically appears as a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. The compound is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, fragrance component, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by its molecular structure, making it relevant in both industrial and research contexts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
