5-Methyl-2-hexanol

Description:

5-Methyl-2-hexanol, with the CAS number 627-59-8, is an organic compound classified as an alcohol. It features a six-carbon chain with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon and a methyl group on the fifth carbon, making it a branched-chain alcohol. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is known for its moderate volatility and solubility in water, which is influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group. 5-Methyl-2-hexanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its physical properties include a relatively low boiling point and density compared to water, which is common for alcohols. Additionally, it exhibits typical alcohol reactivity, such as the ability to undergo oxidation and esterification. Safety considerations include flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
