1-Heptanol is an alcohol with a seven carbon chain and the structural formula of CH3(CH2)6OH [1]. It is a clear colorless liquid that is very slightly soluble in water, but miscible with ether and ethanol.
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.
1-Heptanol has a pleasant smell and is used in cosmetics for its fragrance.
