(±)-2-Nonanol, with the CAS number 628-99-9, is a chiral alcohol that belongs to the class of nonanol isomers. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of nine carbon atoms, with a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to the second carbon. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a pleasant, fatty odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavor industries. Its molecular formula is C9H20O, and it has a relatively low volatility, which contributes to its stability in various applications. (±)-2-Nonanol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. The compound exhibits typical alcohol properties, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and melting point. Additionally, it can undergo oxidation to form corresponding ketones or aldehydes, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
