CAS 589-62-8
:(±)-4-Octanol
Description:
(±)-4-Octanol, with the CAS number 589-62-8, is a chiral alcohol that belongs to the class of octanols, which are straight-chain fatty alcohols. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the fourth carbon of an octane chain, resulting in a structure that can exist in two enantiomeric forms. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a characteristic fatty odor. (±)-4-Octanol is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent, flavoring agent, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its physical properties include a relatively low boiling point and a density that is slightly less than that of water. The compound is of interest in both industrial and research settings, particularly in studies related to its biological activity and potential applications in fragrance and flavor industries. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
