1-Octanol, also known as n-octanol, is a colorless, oily liquid with a faint citrus and fatty odor. It has low solubility in water but good miscibility with most organic solvents. It is widely used in various industries and is often used as a key reference material in pharmaceutical and chemical research to determine the octanol-water partition coefficient (LogP) to evaluate the lipophilicity and absorption properties of drug molecules. In the flavor and fragrance industry, it is a licensed raw material for food flavorings and a common chemical base for preparing fruity and floral fragrances. Industrially, it is an important chemical intermediate in the production of plasticizers, nonionic surfactants, and defoamers, and can also be used as an extraction solvent.
