Product Description:

Heptan-1-ol is a primary aliphatic alcohol with the molecular formula C7H16O. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. As a medium-chain fatty alcohol, it serves as a versatile intermediate in the production of plasticizers, lubricant additives, and industrial surfactants. In the fragrance industry, it is used as a solvent and fixative for perfumes and as a precursor for heptyl esters, which impart floral and fruity notes. Additionally, heptan-1-ol functions as a defoaming agent in papermaking and textile processing, and as a solvent for resins and coatings. In laboratory settings, it is employed as a standard for gas chromatography and as a reagent in organic synthesis for esterification and etherification reactions.
