:5-Methyl-3-heptanol
Description:
5-Methyl-3-heptanol is an organic compound classified as a secondary alcohol, characterized by its seven-carbon chain and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. Its molecular structure features a methyl group attached to the fifth carbon of the heptane chain, while the hydroxyl group is located on the third carbon. This configuration contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. Typically, 5-Methyl-3-heptanol is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The compound is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its reactivity includes typical alcohol reactions, such as oxidation to ketones or aldehydes and esterification. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
