Product Description:

(R)-2-Octanol is a chiral secondary alcohol with the molecular formula C8H18O. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid and serves as a versatile chiral building block and resolving agent in organic synthesis. Its primary application lies in its use as a chiral auxiliary and resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures of acids and other compounds. It is also employed as a precursor for the synthesis of liquid crystals and as a chiral ligand or modifier in asymmetric catalysis. Additionally, it finds use in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its characteristic odor. (R)-2-Octanol is a valuable tool in stereochemistry research and development. It should be handled with care as it is flammable and may cause skin and eye irritation.
