1-Heptanol(CAT: R017665) is a straight-chain, seven-carbon primary alcohol with the chemical formula C₇H₁₅OH. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a mild, aromatic odor and low water solubility but good miscibility with organic solvents. Naturally occurring in some essential oils, 1-heptanol is used as a flavoring agent, fragrance ingredient, and intermediate in the production of esters for perfumes and plasticizers. In industrial and laboratory settings, it serves as a solvent for resins, oils, and waxes, as well as a raw material in organic synthesis. Its relatively high boiling point and hydrophobic character make it suitable for specialized chemical and manufacturing applications.
