Technical profile of 1-Hexanol, a high-purity raw chemical material supplied by Triveni Chemicals for industrial manufacturing and laboratory synthesis.

1-Hexanol is a straight-chain six-carbon fatty alcohol with the chemical formula CHO. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, slightly sweet, fatty odor. It has a boiling point of around 157C and is moderately soluble in water while being highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Compared to lower alcohols, it has lower volatility and shows typical alcohol reactions, including oxidation to form hexanal or hexanoic acid. It remains stable under normal conditions but may react with strong oxidizing agents. In terms of applications, 1-Hexanol is widely used in the fragrance and flavor industry to impart green, grassy, and fruity notes. It also serves as an important intermediate in the production of plasticizers, lubricants, and surfactants. Additionally, it is used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals as a solvent or intermediate, and in the manufacture of esters for perfumes, coatings, and resins.
