Metabolite Identification
Common Name(±)-2-Octanol
Description(±)-2-Octanol, also known as 2-octanol or 2-hydroxyoctane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols. These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. (±)-2-Octanol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, (±)-2-octanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule
