4-methyloctan-1-ol

Description:

4-Methyloctan-1-ol, with the CAS number 38514-03-3, is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its eight-carbon backbone and a methyl group located at the fourth carbon. This compound is part of the family of aliphatic alcohols, which are known for their hydroxyl (-OH) functional group that imparts polar characteristics, making them soluble in water to varying degrees. 4-Methyloctan-1-ol typically exhibits a hydrophobic nature due to its long carbon chain, which influences its physical properties such as boiling point and melting point. It is likely to be a colorless liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group allows it to participate in hydrogen bonding, affecting its reactivity and interactions with other substances. This compound may find applications in various industrial processes, including as a solvent or in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
