1-Heptanol Usage And Synthesis

DescriptionHeptyl alcohol has a faint, aromatic, fatty odor and a pungent,spicy taste. It may be synthesized by reduction of enanthic aldehyde, which is a distillation product of castor oil.
Chemical PropertiesHeptyl alcohol has a fragrant, woody, heavy, oily, faint, aromatic, fatty odor and a pungent, spicy taste.
OccurrenceReported found in a few essential oils, hyacinth, violet leaves, Litsea zeylanica Also reported found in apple, banana, citrus peel oils, orange juice, bilberry, cranberry, blueberry, other berries, currants, melon, papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, asparagus, peas, potato, mustard, cheeses, butter, milk, meats, hop oil, beer, cognac, rum, bourbon whiskey, grape wines, cocoa, tea, flberts, pecans, peanuts, soybeans, passion fruit juice, olive, macadamia nuts, mango, tamarind, fgs, cardamom, rice, calamus, dill, corn, malt, kiwifruit, truffe, nectarine, crab, crayfsh, clams and other sources
Uses1-Heptanol, is used in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant smell.
Production Methods1-Heptanol is produced by reacting hexenes with carbonmonoxide in the oxo process or by the catalytic reductionof heptaldehyde. It has little commercial value except infragrances and as an artificial flavoring agent.
PreparationBy reduction of enanthic aldehyde, which is a distillation product of castor oil.
DefinitionChEBI: 1-heptanol is an alkyl alcohol that is heptane in which a hydrogen of one of the methyl groups is substituted by a hydroxy group. It has been isolated from Capillipedium parviflorum. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a fragrance and a flavouring agent. It is a primary alcohol, an alkyl alcohol and a volatile organic compound. It derives from a hydride of a heptane.
Aroma threshold valuesDetection: 3 ppb.

Reactivity ProfileHeptan-1-ol is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Health Hazard1-Heptanol is low toxicity; liquid may irritate eyes.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNon flammable
Biochem/physiol ActionsTaste at 1-10 ppm
Purification MethodsShake the alcohol with successive lots of alkaline KMnO4 until the colour persists for 15minutes, then dry it with K2CO3 or CaO, and fractionally distil it. [Beilstein 1 IV 1731.]
