6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol

Description:
6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-ol, with the CAS number 1569-60-4, is an organic compound classified as an alcohol due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. It features a branched carbon chain, specifically a heptene backbone, which includes a double bond between the fifth and sixth carbon atoms, contributing to its unsaturation. The presence of the methyl group at the sixth carbon position adds to its structural complexity. This compound is typically colorless and may have a characteristic odor, often associated with natural plant extracts. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the hydroxyl group. 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-ol is of interest in various fields, including fragrance and flavor industries, as well as in organic synthesis. Its reactivity can be influenced by the double bond, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, such as hydration or oxidation. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
