(S)-(+)-2-nonanol is a chiral alcohol with the molecular formula C9H20O, belonging to the class of nonanol isomers. It is characterized by a long carbon chain, specifically a nonyl group, with a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to the second carbon atom. This compound exhibits optical activity due to its chiral center, allowing it to exist in two enantiomeric forms, with (S)-(+)-2-nonanol being the specific enantiomer that rotates plane-polarized light in a clockwise direction. It is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a pleasant, floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. The substance is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. Additionally, (S)-(+)-2-nonanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification, which are important in organic synthesis and the production of flavoring agents. Its applications extend to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as a potential chiral building block in asymmetric synthesis.
