Octanol(general) - Introduction
octanol, also known as octanol, chemical formula for C8H18O, is a colorless liquid. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of octanol:
Nature:
1. Appearance and odor: Colorless transparent liquid with odor similar to alcohol.
2. Solubility: soluble in alcohols, ethers and lipid solvents, insoluble in water.
3. Melting point and boiling point: melting point is -16 ° C, boiling point is 195 ° C.
4. Density: low density, about 0.83 g/cm ³.
Use:
1. Solvent: because it is insoluble in water, but can dissolve many organic substances, it is often used as non polar organic solvent, such as in paint, ink, adhesive and cosmetics industry.
2. Chemical reaction raw material: it can be used as a solvent, reducing agent and catalyst in organic synthesis.
3. Drugs and spices: used as intermediates in the preparation of certain drugs and spices.
Preparation Method:
One commonly used method of preparing octanol is by the oxidation of octane. The reaction is generally carried out using potassium permanganate as the oxidizing agent and under appropriate conditions.
Safety Information:
1. Toxicity: octanol with moderate toxicity, as far as possible to avoid direct contact with the skin and inhalation of gas.
2. Fire hazard: combustible, encounter fire or high temperature will burn.
3. Storage and use: should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, and away from fire and oxidant.
Please note that when using octanol, you should follow the safe operation of chemicals and refer to the relevant safety technical instructions.
