3-Methyl-4-heptanol

Description:
3-Methyl-4-heptanol is an organic compound classified as an alcohol, characterized by its branched-chain structure. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a heptane backbone, specifically at the fourth carbon, with a methyl group at the third carbon. This configuration contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. The compound is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 3-Methyl-4-heptanol can participate in various chemical reactions typical of alcohols, including oxidation and esterification. It is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds and may serve as a solvent or intermediate in chemical processes. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
