Product Overview

1-Octanol is a high-purity, laboratory-grade solvent widely used in organic synthesis and partition coefficient studies due to its unique chemical properties. This colorless liquid features a characteristic odor and is highly soluble in organic solvents while being sparingly soluble in water, making it ideal for applications requiring a non-polar solvent. Its low volatility and high boiling point ensure stability during experiments, reducing evaporation losses. 1-Octanol is commonly employed as a reference standard in chromatography and as a medium for extracting organic compounds from aqueous solutions. The product is rigorously tested for purity, ensuring consistent performance in analytical and research applications. Its molecular structure, consisting of an eight-carbon chain with a hydroxyl group, allows it to interact effectively with both polar and non-polar substances, making it versatile for various laboratory processes. Whether used in academic research or industrial testing, this 1-Octanol variant meets stringent quality standards, providing reliable results for critical experiments.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 1-Octanol?

When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, 1-Octanol has a shelf life of 2-3 years.

2. Is 1-Octanol compatible with plastic containers?

1-Octanol can degrade certain plastics over time, so it is recommended to store it in glass or HDPE containers for long-term stability.

3. Can 1-Octanol be used as a substitute for other alcohols?

While 1-Octanol shares properties with other alcohols, its longer carbon chain makes it less polar, which may affect solubility and reaction outcomes.
