About 1-Octanol, GR 99%+

Vaqora Chemicals supplies 1-Octanol (AR grade), an analytical reagent grade solvent registered under CAS number 111-87-5, specified at ≥99% purity. Its molecular formula is C8H18O and its molecular weight is 130.23 g/mol. The IUPAC name is octan-1-ol. Common synonyms include Alcohol C8 and Capryl alcohol.

The product is provided as a liquid. Reported physical data include a melting point of -15 °C and a boiling point of 196 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for analytical reagent work, extraction and recrystallisation, titrimetric analysis and pharmaceutical synthesis. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Standard pack sizes are 100 mL, 500 mL, 5 L and 170 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
