Description

2-Octanol is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)5CH(OH)CH3. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. 2-Octanol is a chiral molecule, and both enantiomers are known. The (R)-enantiomer is found naturally in some essential oils, such as rose oil. 2-Octanol is synthesized by the hydroformylation of 1-heptene followed by hydrogenation. It is used as a solvent, a fragrance ingredient, and an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. 2-Octanol is also a component of some insect pheromones. It is studied for its potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Research on 2-octanol focuses on its properties, synthesis methods, and applications.'
