Basic Info
Dimethyl Octanol usually refers to 3,7-dimethyl-1-octanol (3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol), with a molecular formula of C₁₀H₂₂O and a molecular weight of about 158.28. It is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with low polarity and volatility, a boiling point of about 98-99 °C (under low pressure conditions), a density of 0.828 g/mL at 20 °C, and a refractive index in the range of 1.435–1.436. The compound is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and propylene glycol. Its structure contains a primary hydroxyl group and two methyl side chains, and it belongs to the fatty alcohol class.
The compound is also called Tetrahydrogeraniol or Dihydrocitronellol. Its molecule has 6 rotatable bonds and 1 hydrogen bond donor, and often exists as a mixture of isomers. In terms of chemical properties, it is stable to alkali, but it must be avoided from contact with strong oxidants to prevent violent reactions; it is stable when stored at room temperature, but it should be noted that its vapor may irritate the skin and eyes. In industry, it can be synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of geraniol or citronellal.

1. Spices and Essence Industry
Dimethyl Octanol is characterized by a “green sweet scent resembling rose petal, with a hint geranium aroma” and a mild spicy taste. It is used in soap essences, detergent essences, and cigarette essences because of its high alkali stability. This can increase the scent persistence and mildness. The alias of “tetrahydro-geraniol”, which reflects the importance it plays in modulating fragrance, is also used.
2. Industrial solvents
Dimethyl Octanol is a highly-polar organic solvent that can dissolve organic compounds like paints, resins, and coatings. Low polarity and high volatile can speed up paint peeling and improve production efficiency. It is commonly used for coatings, adhesives and surface treatments. Attention should be given to its flammability and irritation (flashpoint 95) and strict precautions should be taken when operating.
3. Intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals
Dimethyl Octanol, a raw material used in the production of agricultural chemicals and synthetic drugs such as antiarrhythmic intermediates or local anesthetics (without mercury), is also a valuable source for agriculture chemicals. The hydroxyl group can be easily modified to produce a variety of high-performance molecules. As an example, it can be used to build the carbon skeleton in the synthesis customized pharmaceutical intermediates.
4. Research on biofuels, functional materials and other renewable resources
Dimethyl Octanol is being investigated as a component of biofuels due to its low volatility and high energy density (212,5 °C boiling point), which could improve fuel stability. Its derivatives also show promise as corrosion inhibitors for oil and gas pipelines and insect repellents. However, further testing is required to confirm their practical application.
5. Synthesis of Special Chemicals
Dimethyl Octanol can be used to prepare plasticizers, stabilizers for organotins and specialty surfactants. The high solubility of dimethyl octanol in alkyd resins, epoxy resins, etc. It is also used as a coating additive and ink solvent.
