3,5-Heptanediol, also known as (3R,5R)-3,5-heptanediol, is a chiral organic compound characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups located at the 3rd and 5th carbon atoms of a seven-carbon aliphatic chain. This diol exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which contributes to its solubility in water and other polar solvents. The specific stereochemistry (3R,5R) indicates that both hydroxyl groups are oriented in a particular spatial arrangement, which can influence the compound's reactivity and interactions with biological systems. 3,5-Heptanediol is utilized in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the formulation of cosmetics, and potentially in pharmaceuticals due to its functional groups. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by the molecular structure and the presence of the hydroxyl groups, which enhance intermolecular interactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
