CAS: 111-70-6
Molecular Formula: C7H16O
Molecular Weight: 116.20
Product description:By being heptyl aldehyde reduction. Will be 1.8 kg and 0.45 kg of iron filings, 3 l water heptyl aldehyde mixing together, heating reflux 6-7 h, then by steam distillation and distillate 7-8 l, about to separate oil, add 1 l20 % of hydrogen and oxygen heptyl ester hydrolysis. Points are oil distillation, collected 172-176 ℃ fraction, heptanol can get about 350 g. Reduction reaction can also be used in the presence of dilute hydrochloric acid. In addition, pentane and ethylene oxide in the presence of anhydrous aluminium bromide, heptanol can also be obtained.Natural products found in clove, hyacinth, violet leaf essential oils, etc. Slightly soluble in water, with ethanol, ethyl ether and other immiscible. Can be oxidized and esterification. Exist in fusel oil. By is heptyl aldehyde reduction, or with magnesium bromide generation is amyl and ethylene oxide synthesis. Used as a reagent in organic synthesis.
