CAS 626-93-7
:(±)-2-Hexanol
Description:
(±)-2-Hexanol, with the CAS number 626-93-7, is a chiral alcohol that belongs to the class of aliphatic alcohols. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, often described as similar to that of alcohols or fatty substances. This compound has a molecular formula of C6H14O and features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to the second carbon of a six-carbon straight-chain alkane. As a secondary alcohol, it exhibits moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. (±)-2-Hexanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation to form ketones and esterification with acids to produce esters. It is used in the synthesis of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as a solvent in various industrial applications. Additionally, due to its chiral nature, it exists as two enantiomers, which may exhibit different biological activities and properties. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
