(+)-3-Octanol

Description:
(+)-3-Octanol, with the CAS number 22658-92-0, is a chiral alcohol that belongs to the class of octanols, which are straight-chain fatty alcohols. It is characterized by its eight-carbon chain with a hydroxyl (-OH) group located on the third carbon, making it a secondary alcohol. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a pleasant, floral odor, which makes it useful in the fragrance industry. Its molecular formula is C8H18O, and it has a relatively low boiling point, indicating it is volatile. (+)-3-Octanol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the chiral center allows for the existence of enantiomers, with the (+) designation indicating the specific optical activity of this isomer. It is often used as a flavoring agent, in the synthesis of other chemicals, and in research applications related to chiral synthesis and catalysis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic solvents.
