:3-Methyl-3-heptanol
Description:
3-Methyl-3-heptanol is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its molecular formula C8H18O. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a heptane backbone, specifically at the third carbon, with a methyl group also on the same carbon. This structure contributes to its properties as a tertiary alcohol, which typically exhibits lower boiling points compared to primary and secondary alcohols due to steric hindrance. 3-Methyl-3-heptanol is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in water, influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a solvent in various chemical reactions. Additionally, it may have applications in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant odor. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care, as it can be flammable and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
