Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Chemical Properties

2,6-Dimethyl-2-heptanol has not yet been found in nature, is a colorless liquid with a delicate, floral odor reminiscent of freesias. It is synthesized from 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and methylmagnesium chloride by a Grignard reaction, followed by hydrogenation, and is used in floral perfume compositions.

Uses

2,?6-?Dimethyl-2-?heptanol is used in preparation and analytical study of perfumes . It is also used in preparation of 3''-ketoglycoside compounds with insect repellent effect.

Production Methods

2,6- Dimethyl-2-heptanol is prepared from the reaction of methyl heptenone and methyl magnesium halide, followed by hydrogenation.
