Product Description
Recognized names: 1-Heptanol; Heptan-1-ol; n-Heptanol; Heptyl alcohol; Enanthyl alcohol. CAS 111-70-6; EC 203-897-9; formula C₇H₁₆O; molar mass 116.20 g/mol.
Physical-property reference: colourless liquid, melting point about -34.6 °C, boiling point about 176 °C and relative density about 0.82; confirm test conditions and lot values.
Flash point and other safety data: use the current SDS for the offered grade and test method; do not rely on a single generic value.
Industrial use: intermediate for ester and specialty-chemical synthesis and selected solvent formulations. Fragrance, natural-origin or other regulated suitability requires a separate grade specification and is not established here.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are 1-Heptanol and n-Heptanol the same alcohol?
A: Yes. 1-Heptanol and n-heptanol identify the straight-chain primary alcohol, CAS 111-70-6. They are not 2-heptanol, 3-heptanol or heptyl acetate. State the normal-isomer identity, CAS number and solvent or intermediate grade in the purchase documents. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for industrial 1-Heptanol?
A: Set assay by GC, water, acidity, color, nonvolatile residue, density and limits for other heptanol isomers or aldehydes. Fragrance, esterification and solvent processes may use different impurity limits. Confirm the test method, packaging, quantity and current COA before approving the lot.
