2-Methyl-2-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 second carbon, with a methyl group also on the second carbon, contributing to its branched structure. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 2-Methyl-2-heptanol 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, in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, and potentially in the formulation of personal care products. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
