Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Heptanol
Description1-Heptanol, also known as heptyl alcohol or enanthic alcohol, 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. Thus, 1-heptanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 1-Heptanol exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. 1-Heptanol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
