(S)-(+)-2-Hexanol, with the CAS number 52019-78-0, is a chiral alcohol characterized by its six-carbon chain and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group located on the second carbon. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a mild, pleasant odor, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of fragrances. Its chirality is significant, as the (S)-enantiomer exhibits distinct properties compared to its (R)-counterpart, influencing its behavior in biological systems and chemical reactions. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain. (S)-(+)-2-Hexanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, necessitating appropriate safety measures in laboratory and industrial settings.
