| Description | Caprylic alcohol, also known as octanol or octyl alcohol, is a compound, chemically named 1-octanol, and is often referred to as octyl alcohol ether. It is a colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor, composed of eight carbon atoms and bearing a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. This structure imparts some unique physical and chemical properties to caprylic alcohol. |
Key Functions of (S)-2-octanol:
- Solvent: Caprylic alcohol serves as a solvent for substances insoluble in water. It is commonly used as a solvent in industrial products such as paints, coatings, and cleaning agents.
- Surfactant: It acts as a surfactant to reduce the surface tension between liquids, aiding in the mixing of immiscible substances. Therefore, it is used in the manufacture of detergents, soaps, and emulsions.
- Chemical Intermediate: Caprylic alcohol is an important chemical intermediate and can be converted into other compounds during synthesis. It is widely used in the preparation of esters, ethers, and alcohol ethers.
- Flavor and Fragrance: Due to its distinct odor and taste, caprylic alcohol is used as a flavoring and fragrance agent, added to products where enhancement of taste and aroma is required, such as food, beverages, and perfumes.
- Medical Applications: Caprylic alcohol is also used as an additive or solvent in some pharmaceutical products. It can be included in drug formulations to improve solubility or stability.
