CAS 104-76-7 2-Ethylhexanol, also known as 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, is a branched-chain primary alcohol with the molecular formula C₈H₁₈O and a molecular weight of 130.23 g/mol. It is a clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic mild odour. This eight-carbon chiral compound is poorly soluble in water (approximately 1 g/L at 20°C), but is highly miscible with most organic solvents, making it versatile for industrial applications.
