CAS 624-51-1: 3-Nonanol

3-Nonanol is a chiral compound that is used as a catalyst in oil solutions. It has been shown to be effective at high concentrations, and the kinetic of this reaction has been studied under constant pressure. The catalytic activity of 3-nonanol is based on its ability to form an ion-pair with malonic acid and convert it into butanoic acid. 3-Nonanol can be detected in high concentrations by following the reaction with an infrared spectrophotometer, which detects the characteristic absorption bands for this compound. Symptoms of exposure to 3-nonanol include skin irritation, eye irritation, respiratory tract irritation, and central nervous system depression.
