Heptanol
Heptanol may refer to any of four isomeric chemical compounds: * 1-Heptanol, an alcohol with a seven carbon chain and the structural formula of CH3(CH2)6OH * 2-Heptanol, a secondary alcohol with the hydroxyl on the second carbon of the straight seven-carbon chain * 3-Heptanol 3-Heptanol or heptan-3-ol is an organic alcohol with the chemical formula C7H16O.3-Heptanol


1-Heptanol
1-Heptanol is an alcohol with a seven carbon chain and the structural formula of CH3(CH2)6OH. It is a clear colorless liquid that is very slightly soluble in water, but miscible with ether and ethanol. Overview There are three other isomers of heptanol that have a straight chain, 2-heptanol, 3-heptanol, and 4-heptanol, which differ by the location of the alcohol functional group. Heptanol is commonly used in cardiac electrophysiology experiments to block gap junctions and increase axial resistance between myocytes. Increasing axial resistance will decrease conduction velocity and increase the heart's susceptibility to reentrant excitation and sustained arrhythmias. 1-Heptanol has a pleasant smell and is used in cosmetics for its fragrance. See also * 2-Heptanol * 3-Heptanol 3-Heptanol or heptan-3-ol is an organic alcohol with the chemical formula C7H16O.3-Heptanol

2-Heptanol
2-Heptanol is a chemical compound which is an isomer of heptanol. It is a secondary alcohol with the hydroxyl on the second carbon of the straight seven-carbon chain. 2-Heptanol is chiral, so (R)- and (S)- isomers exist.

3-Heptanol
3-Heptanol or heptan-3-ol is an organic alcohol with the chemical formula C7H16O.3-Heptanol
3-Heptanol is , so (''R'')- and (''S'')- isomers exist.

Isomer
In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formulae – that is, same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. Isomerism is existence or possibility of isomers. Isomers do not necessarily share similar chemical or physical properties. Two main forms of isomerism are structural or constitutional isomerism, in which ''bonds'' between the atoms differ; and stereoisomerism or spatial isomerism, in which the bonds are the same but the ''relative positions'' of the atoms differ. Isomeric relationships form a hierarchy. Two chemicals might be the same constitutional isomer, but upon deeper analysis be stereoisomers of each other. Two molecules that are the same stereoisomer as each other might be in different conformational forms or be different isotopologues. The depth of analysis depends on the field of study or the chemical and physical properties of interest. The English word "isomer" () is a back-for ...

Fatty Alcohols
Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4–6 carbons to as many as 22–26, derived from natural fats and oils. The precise chain length varies with the source. Some commercially important fatty alcohols are lauryl, stearyl, and oleyl alcohols. They are colourless oily liquids (for smaller carbon numbers) or waxy solids, although impure samples may appear yellow. Fatty alcohols usually have an even number of carbon atoms and a single alcohol group (–OH) attached to the terminal carbon. Some are unsaturated and some are branched. They are widely used in industry. As with fatty acids, they are often referred to generically by the number of carbon atoms in the molecule, such as "a C12 alcohol", that is an alcohol having 12 carbons, for example dodecanol. Production and occurrence Most fatty alcohols in nature are found as waxes which are esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols. T ...
