6-Methyl-2-heptanol

Description:
6-Methyl-2-heptanol is an organic compound classified as a secondary alcohol, characterized by its molecular structure that includes a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a heptane backbone. This compound features a methyl group at the sixth carbon position, which contributes to its branched structure. It is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. 6-Methyl-2-heptanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary based on environmental conditions and purity. As with many alcohols, it may exhibit flammability and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions. Overall, 6-Methyl-2-heptanol is a versatile compound with relevance in both industrial and laboratory settings.
