Overview of 2-Heptanol

2-Heptanol, also known by its chemical formula C₇H₁₆O, is a secondary alcohol composed of seven carbon straight chains joined together at their second carbon atom with an attached hydroxyl group. This substance appears as a clear colourless liquid with a mild fruity and slightly earthy aroma. It has long been appreciated for its versatile reactivity, which enables industrial, laboratory, and commercial uses alike. 2-Heptanol is an important alcohol used in fragrances and flavoring applications. It can be combined with Methyl Chavicol to create aromatic compounds in the fragrance industry.

Applications of 2-Heptanol

Fragrance & Flavour Industry:

Used for its mild fruity notes in perfumes, soaps, air fresheners, and flavour compositions.

Solvent Applications:

Medium polarity solvent used as part of coatings, inks, adhesive,s and cleaning formulations.
