1-Nonanol

1-Nonanol is a natural product.

1-Nonanol

1-Nonanol is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It can be synthesized from methyl pentanoate by the asymmetric addition of an inorganic acid to the ester hydrochloride. This process results in a mixture of 1-nonanol and its isomer 2-nonanol, which can be separated using an analytical method such as gas chromatography. 1-Nonanol has been shown to have high transport properties, making it useful for detergent compositions. It has also been shown to exhibit strong hydrogen bonding abilities that may contribute to its adsorption mechanism.

The primary use of nonanol is in the manufacture of artificial lemon oil. 1-Nonanol is mainly used in man-made rose essence, plasticizer, surfactant. 1-Nonanol was used as a reference material in the determination of airborne spore levels. 1-Nonanol inhibited the bacterial luciferase (BL) reaction in a dose-dependent manner. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
