:(+)-2-Heptanol
Description:
(+)-2-Heptanol is a chiral alcohol with the molecular formula C7H16O, characterized by a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon of a seven-carbon straight-chain alkane. This compound is known for its pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavor industries. As a secondary alcohol, it exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, while also being soluble in organic solvents. The compound has a boiling point that is typical for alcohols of similar molecular weight, and it can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. The chirality of (+)-2-Heptanol means it exists as one enantiomer, which can exhibit different biological activities compared to its mirror image. Its applications extend beyond flavoring and fragrance, as it can also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation and potential health hazards.
