1-Octanol

The IUPAC name of 1-Octanol is octan-1-ol. With the CAS registry number 111-87-5, it is also named as Caprylic alcohol. The product's categories are 1-alkanols; monofunctional & alpha,omega-bifunctional alkanes; monofunctional alkanes. It is colourless liquid with a penetrating odour that it should be avoided contact with strong oxidants, acids and acyl chlorine, so it must sealed in the container which is placed in the cool and dry aera. 1-Octanol can react with acid by esterification in the catalyst. Additionally, it can be oxidized to produce the corresponding aldehyde or acid.

Preparation of 1-Octanol: It is obtained industrially by oxidation of the alkylaluminium products. The following is the chemical equation:
Al(C₂H₅)₃ + 9 C₂H₄ → Al(C₈H₁₇)₃
Al(C₈H₁₇)3 + 3 O + 3 H₂O → 3 HOC₈H₁₇ + Al(OH)₃ 
The process generates of alcohols that are separated by distillation.

Uses of of 1-Octanol: The primary use of this chemical is in the manufacture of various esters. It is also used as a defoaming or wetting agent and a solvent for protective coatings, waxes, and oils, and as a raw material for plasticizers. Besides, in experimental medical applications, using octanol to control Essential Tremor and other types of involuntary neurological tremors.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
