Description:2-Octyn-1-ol, with the CAS number 20739-58-6, is an organic compound classified as an alkyne alcohol. It features a terminal alkyne functional group, which is characterized by a triple bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its eight-carbon chain. This compound has a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the first carbon, making it a primary alcohol. 2-Octyn-1-ol is typically a colorless liquid with a distinct odor and is known for its hydrophobic nature, which means it is not readily soluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents. The presence of both the alkyne and alcohol functional groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and substitution. Additionally, it may be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
