1-Heptanol is an alcohol with a seven carbon chain and the structural formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 6 OH. [1] It is a clear colorless liquid that is very slightly soluble in water, but miscible with ether and ethanol .
2-Heptanol is a chemical compound which is an isomer of heptanol.It is a secondary alcohol with the hydroxyl on the second carbon of the straight seven-carbon chain. The compound is flammable and irritant, and through inhalation, ingestion or though skin it can enter into the body.
Heptyl acetate (C 9 H 18 O 2), also known as acetate C-7, [citation needed] is a colorless alcohol-soluble liquid that is the ester formed by the condensation of 1-heptanol and acetic acid. Heptyl acetate is used as a fruit essence flavoring in foods and as a scent in perfumes. It has a woody, fruity, rumlike odor and a spicy, floral taste with ...
Heptanol may refer to any isomeric alcohols with the formula C 7 H 16 O: 1-Heptanol, an alcohol with a seven carbon chain and the structural formula of CH 3 (CH 2) 6 OH; 2-Heptanol, a secondary alcohol with the hydroxyl on the second carbon of the straight seven-carbon chain; 3-Heptanol, an organic alcohol with the chemical formula C 7 H 16 O ...
3-Heptanol or heptan-3-ol is an organic alcohol with the chemical formula C 7 H 16 O. [1] 3-Heptanol is chiral, so (R)- and (S)- isomers exist. References
The formation of heptanal in the fractional distillation of castor oil [3] was already described in 1878. The large-scale production is based on the pyrolytic cleavage of ricinoleic acid [4] (Arkema method) and on the hydroformylation of 1-hexene with rhodium 2-ethylhexanoate as a catalyst upon addition of some 2-ethylhexanoic acid (Oxea method): [2] [5]
An acyclic alkyl has the general formula of −C n H 2n+1. A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula −C n H 2n−1. [2] Typically an alkyl is a part of a larger molecule. In structural formulae, the symbol R is used to designate a generic (unspecified) alkyl group.
The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
