2-Methyl-3-octanol

Description:
2-Methyl-3-octanol is an organic compound classified as an alcohol, characterized by its molecular structure that includes a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a carbon chain. It has a total of eight carbon atoms, making it part of the octanol family. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinct odor, and it is known for its hydrophobic properties, which means it is less soluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents. The presence of the methyl group at the second carbon position introduces branching, which can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and viscosity. 2-Methyl-3-octanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemicals, and potentially in flavor and fragrance formulations. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the alcohol functional group, allowing it to participate in reactions typical of alcohols, such as oxidation and esterification. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
