- Octanol is a straight
chain fatty alcohol with eight carbon atoms and the molecular formula
CH3(CH2)7OH.
- Although the term
octanol usually refers exclusively to the primary alcohol 1-octanol,
there are other less common isomers of octanol such as the secondary
alcohols 2-octanol, 3-octanol and 4-octanol.
- Octanol occurs
naturally in the form of esters in some essential oils.
- The primary use
of octanol is in the manufacture of various esters (both synthetic and
naturally occurring), such as octyl acetate, which are used in perfumery
and flavors.
- Other uses include
experimental medical applications utilizing octanol to control Essential
Tremor and other types of involuntary neurological tremors.
- Octanol is produced
industrially by the oligomerization of ethylene using triethylaluminium
followed by oxidation of the alkylaluminium products.
- Octanol and water are
immiscible. The distribution of a compound between water and octanol is
used to calculate the partition coefficient 'P' of that molecule .
- Water/ octanol
partitioning is a good approximation of the partitioning between the
cytosol and lipid membranes of living systems.
-
Octanol is a toxic and flammable
product.
-
At heating over 75 ºC, octanol vapors
give explosive mixtures with air.
- Octanol vapors produce eyes and skin irritation,
dizziness and headaches.
- Many dermal absorption
models consider the stratum corneum/ water partition coefficient to be
well approximated by a function of the water/ octanol partition
coefficient of the form.
