The C7-9 alcohol refers to an alcohol compound containing 7 to 9 carbon atoms and has the general formula C7H16O to C9H20O. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of C7-9 alcohol:
Nature:
C7-9 alcohol is usually a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a special fragrance. They are soluble in water and most organic solvents. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the boiling point and melting point of the alcohol will gradually increase.
Use:
C7-9 alcohol has a wide range of applications in industry. They are commonly used as solvents, fillers and degreases. In addition, they are also used in the preparation of fragrances, cosmetics, detergents, lubricants and plastics.
Preparation Method:
