General description

3-Heptanol is the main biotransformation product of n-heptane.

Application

3-Heptanol can be used:
  • As a solvent to form microenvironments around single-walled carbon nanotubes.
  • To prepare substituted pyrimidine derivatives as C1 domain-targeted isophthalate analogs to study their binding affinities towards PKCα isoform.
  • As a building block to synthesize 4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-butyric acid and cyclohexanecarboxylic acid derivatives as sEH inhibitors.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are encapsulated with microenvironments of nonpolar solvent, providing a new method to measure the photophysical properties of nanotubes in environments with known properties. Photoluminescence (PL) and absorbance spectra of SWNTs show solvatochromic shifts in 16 nonpolar
