2-Methyl-3-hexanol

Description:
2-Methyl-3-hexanol is an organic compound classified as a secondary alcohol, characterized by its molecular structure that includes a six-carbon chain with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the third carbon and a methyl group on the second carbon. This compound has a molecular formula of C7H16O and features a branched structure, which influences its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 2-Methyl-3-hexanol exhibits moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions typical of alcohols, such as oxidation and esterification. Its applications may include use as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, or as a potential intermediate in chemical manufacturing. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many alcohols, including proper handling and storage to avoid exposure and potential hazards.
