CAS 628-44-4

2-methyloctan-2-ol

Description:

2-Methyloctan-2-ol, with the CAS number 628-44-4, is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon of an octane chain. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinct, somewhat sweet odor typical of alcohols. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts moderate polarity, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other substances. 2-Methyloctan-2-ol can participate in various chemical reactions, including dehydration and oxidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as low volatility and moderate boiling point, which are common in larger alcohols. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as with many organic solvents and alcohols.
