MUSCAT CHEMICAL TAG::
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.
The heptyl butanoate ester was synthesized from butanoic acid and Reaction between an organic acid and an alcohol .
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.
N HEPTANOL FOR SYNTHESIS 1Heptanol Heptyl Alcohol 0.822 g/mL at 25 °C (lit.) vapor pressure: 0.5 mm Hg ( 20 °C). refractive index: n 20/D 1.424(lit.)
