2-Hepten-4-ol, with the CAS number 4798-59-8, is an organic compound classified as an alcohol and an unsaturated fatty alcohol due to the presence of both a hydroxyl (-OH) group and a double bond in its carbon chain. It features a seven-carbon backbone with a double bond located between the second and third carbons, and the hydroxyl group is attached to the fourth carbon. This structure contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis and as a building block in the production of various chemicals. 2-Hepten-4-ol is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water, which is influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group. The compound's unsaturation allows for further chemical reactions, such as hydrogenation or polymerization, making it valuable in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties.
