:2-Methyloctanol
Description:
2-Methyloctanol is an organic compound classified as an alcohol, specifically a branched-chain fatty alcohol. It features a long hydrocarbon chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon of an octanol backbone. This structure contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The compound has a relatively high boiling point due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which allows for hydrogen bonding. 2-Methyloctanol is typically a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the production of surfactants, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may be found in some personal care products and fragrances. Safety data indicates that, while it can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. Proper handling and storage are recommended to minimize exposure and ensure safety.

2-Methyloctan-1-ol
CAS:2-Methyloctan-1-ol is an organic compound that is a major constituent of the essential oil of lettuce. It has significant antioxidant activity and catalyses the oxidation of long-chain cinnamic acid derivatives. 2-Methyloctan-1-ol also reacts with fatty acids to form lipase, which breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerols. This reaction rate can be increased by adding aldehydes, which are produced from the allylation of 2-methyloctan-1-ol with propylene or butadiene. 2-Methyloctan-1-ol also reacts with fatty esters to form immobilized products.Formula:C9H20OPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:144.25 g/mol
