Thermo Scientific™ 1-Heptanol ≥99%

1-Heptanol is a linear primary alcohol with a seven-carbon chain, supplied at ≥99% purity for high-performance laboratory and industrial applications. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint floral odor and is widely used as a solvent, intermediate, and starting material in the synthesis of esters, surfactants, and plasticizers.

With a moderate boiling point and low volatility, 1-heptanol is suitable for use in organic synthesis, fragrance development, analytical chemistry, and materials science. Its chemical structure features a primary hydroxyl group, making it highly reactive in esterification, oxidation, and substitution reactions.
