4-Heptanol (CAS 589-55-9)
QUICK LINKS
4-Heptanol is an organic alcohol that finds utility in various research applications primarily within organic synthesis and material science. As a medium-chain alcohol, it is often used as a solvent or a reagent in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules, where its hydrophobic alkyl chain and hydrophilic hydroxyl group enable it to interact with a wide range of chemical species. The compound′s ability to undergo oxidation reactions makes it a candidate for studying the mechanisms of alcohol oxidation and for use in creating derivatives with different functional groups. In the realm of materials science, 4-heptanol is investigated for its potential as a plasticizer in polymer formulations, which can affect the flexibility and durability of plastic materials. Additionally, its surface-active properties are explored in the formation and stabilization of emulsions, which is relevant to the production of coatings, adhesives, and food technology.
