(2S)-2-Decanol, with the CAS number 33758-16-6, is a chiral alcohol belonging to the class of aliphatic alcohols. It features a straight-chain structure with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon of a decane backbone, making it a secondary alcohol. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its relatively low solubility in water while being more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. (2S)-2-Decanol is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a distinct odor. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of fragrances, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The chirality of (2S)-2-Decanol can influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems, making it of interest in fields such as pharmaceuticals and biochemistry.
