1-Heptanol Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Heptyl 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.
Occurrence
Reported 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
Preparation
By reduction of enanthic aldehyde, which is a distillation product of castor oil.
Production Methods
1-Heptanol is produced by reacting hexenes with carbon monoxide in the oxo process or by the catalytic reduction of heptaldehyde. It has little commercial value except in fragrances and as an artificial flavoring agent.
Reactivity Profile
Heptan-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 Hazard
1-Heptanol is low toxicity; liquid may irritate eyes.
Purification Methods
Shake 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.]
