1Octanol, 99%, pure15063 Acros

Octanol / Capryl Alcohol Overview

1-Octanol, also known as Capryl alcohol or n-octyl alcohol, is a straight chain primary fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C8H18O and a molecular weight of 130.23 g/mol. Presenting as a clear, colorless oily liquid with a characteristic faint aroma, 1-octanol serves as the universal benchmark solvent for determining octanol water partition coefficients (Log P / Kow) in pharmacokinetic, environmental, and drug discovery research. Beyond membrane lipophilicity modeling, 1-octanol is extensively utilized as a versatile chemical intermediate for ester manufacturing, a high boiling organic solvent, an anti foaming agent, and a raw material in flavor, fragrance, and plasticizer formulations.
