1-Octanol

1-Octanol (111-87-5) is a colorless and transparent liquid with the chemical formula C8H18O. It is a fatty alcohol consisting of a linear, saturated chain of eight carbon atoms. Although 1-Octanol is not highly soluble in water, it can dissolve easily in alcohol, ether, and chloroform. This compound is commonly used as a raw material in the production of fragrances, octanal, octanoic acid, and its esters. It also functions as a solvent, defoamer, and lubricating oil additive. Notably, 1-Octanol poses a low level of toxicity, but it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Nonetheless, it is considered safe to use under normal conditions because of its low vapor pressure.
