Hexan‑1‑ol (Hexyl Alcohol) – LR Grade, 99% Min (UN Approved)

Hexan‑1‑ol, also known as Hexyl Alcohol, is supplied at a minimum purity of 99% and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. This straight‑chain primary alcohol is widely used in educational chemistry laboratories for teaching organic functional groups and structure–property relationships.

Identified by CAS Number: 111‑27‑3 and UN Number: 2282, hexan‑1‑ol is a regulated flammable liquid and must be handled in accordance with appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments. It has limited solubility in water and a higher boiling point than short‑chain alcohols, making it useful for comparative studies within the alcohol homologous series.
