:1-Heptanol, 4-methyl-
Description:
1-Heptanol, 4-methyl- is an organic compound classified as an alcohol, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. Its molecular structure consists of a seven-carbon chain (heptane) with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon, which influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. 1-Heptanol, 4-methyl- is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, and potentially in flavor and fragrance formulations. Its boiling point and melting point are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the position of the hydroxyl group. As with many alcohols, it can participate in reactions such as esterification and oxidation. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

4-Methylheptan-1-ol
CAS:<p>4-Methylheptan-1-ol is an alcohol that is a volatile and monohydric. It is found in the pheromones of insects, such as the triatomine bug, which transmit Chagas disease and also in the volatiles of plants such as cottonseed oil. This chemical has been shown to be an effective insecticide against reduviidae, a group of insects that includes mosquitoes and ticks. 4-Methylheptan-1-ol is also used as a nutritional additive for livestock feed to prevent losses due to insects. This chemical may serve as a chiral building block for the synthesis of other compounds with beneficial properties.</p>Formula:C8H18OPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:130.23 g/mol
