Description

Isoheptan-1-Ol CAS NO 51774-11-9 is a branched-chain primary alcohol, specifically a C7 isomer of heptanol, valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and solvent in specialty chemical synthesis. Its unique structure offers a balance of hydrophobic character and reactivity, making it a valuable building block for modifying the properties of final products. This chemical is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries for applications requiring specific solvency or as a precursor in esterification and etherification reactions.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: A key starting material for the synthesis of plasticizers, lubricant additives, and specialty esters.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as an intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a solvent or co-solvent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Acts as a precursor for the manufacture of specific aroma chemicals and esters.
• Specialty Solvent: Employed in formulations requiring a specific evaporation rate and solvency power for resins and polymers.
• Research & Development: Utilized in organic chemistry labs for method development and novel compound synthesis.
