These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, octanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Octanol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Octanol occurs naturally in the form of esters in some essential oils. The distribution of a compound between water and octanol is used to calculate the partition coefficient (logP) 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 colorless, slightly viscous liquid used as a defoaming or wetting agent. It is also used as a solvent for protective coatings, waxes, and oils, and as a raw material for plasticizers. 1-Hydroxyoctane 1-Octyl alcohol 1-Oktanol 2-Octanol 2-Octanol ~99% Alcohol C-8 Alcohol, n-octyl Alfol 8 Capryl alcohol Caprylic alcohol Dytol m-83 Emery 3322 Emery 3324 Epal 8 FEMA 2800 Heptyl carbinol Hexyl methyl carbinol Lorol 20 Lorol C8 n-Capryl alcohol n-Caprylic alcohol N-Heptyl carbinol n-Octan-1-ol n-Octanol n-Octyl alcohol N-Octyl-alcohol Octan-1-ol Octan-2-ol 98+ % Octilin Octyl alcohol Octyl alcohol normal-primary Octyl-alcohol Prim-N-octyl alcohol Primary octyl alcohol Sipol L8 C8H18O 130.2279 130.135765198 octan-1-ol octanol 111-87-5 CCCCCCCCO InChI=1S/C8H18O/c1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9/h9H,2-8H2,1H3 KBPLFHHGFOOTCA-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols.
