3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol is a natural compound that is used as a model organism to study the effects of cationic surfactants and detergent compositions on bacteria. It can be found in the odorant binding protein (OBP) of Streptomyces lavendulae where it binds to chlorine atoms. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth by binding to hydroxyl groups and fatty acid chains in proteins.
This compound is also used as an ingredient in detergent compositions and glycol ethers. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol has been reported to have a phenolic odor that is likely due to its ability to bind with tryptophan residues at high pH.
