4-Ethyl-3-hexanol, with the CAS number 19780-44-0, is an organic compound classified as an alcohol. It features a six-carbon chain with an ethyl group attached to the fourth carbon and a hydroxyl (-OH) group on the third carbon. This structure contributes to its properties, making it a colorless liquid at room temperature with a characteristic odor. It is moderately soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can form hydrogen bonds, while also being soluble in organic solvents. The compound exhibits typical alcohol characteristics, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and volatility. 4-Ethyl-3-hexanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its reactivity includes typical alcohol reactions, such as oxidation 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.
