2-Butyl-1-octanol, with the CAS number 3913-02-8, is a long-chain alcohol characterized by its hydrophobic properties and moderate polarity due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group. It has a molecular formula that reflects its structure, consisting of a butyl group attached to an octanol backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Its boiling point is relatively high, indicative of the longer carbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Butyl-1-octanol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, making it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, or solvent in chemical processes. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity, but safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as with any chemical substance. Its unique structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis and industrial applications.
