3-Methyl-3-hexanol is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its molecular formula C7H16O. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a hexane backbone, specifically at the third carbon, with a methyl group also on the same carbon, contributing to its branched structure. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 3-Methyl-3-hexanol exhibits properties typical of alcohols, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and viscosity. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
