5-Methylhexanol (CAS 123-40-6) is a branched-chain aliphatic alcohol with molecular formula C7H16O. It is primarily synthesized via hydroformylation of hexenes followed by hydrogenation or through specific catalytic reduction processes.
Store in tightly sealed containers under inert atmosphere at cool, dry temperatures below 25°C. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. Use appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection during handling to prevent skin irritation.
