'''Octanol''' is a straight chain ] with eight ] ]s and the molecular formula CH<sub>3</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>7</sub>OH. Although the term ''octanol'' usually refers exclusively to the ] 1-octanol, there are other less common isomers of octanol such as the ]s 2-octanol, 3-octanol and 4-octanol.


There are 89 possible ]s of octanol,{{citation needed|date=March 2015}} including:
Octanol occurs naturally in the form of ]s in some essential oils. The primary use of octanol is in the manufacture of various esters (both synthetic and naturally occurring), such as ], which are used in perfumery and flavors. Other uses include experimental medical applications utilizing octanol to control Essential Tremor and other types of involuntary neurological tremors.<ref> Bushara K. etal Pilot trial of 1-octanol in essential tremor” Neurology 2004; 62:122-4</ref>

Group of isomers Not to be confused with octanal, octanyl, octanoyl, octenol, octynol, or octonal.

Octanols are alcohols with the formula C8H17OH. A simple and important member is 1-octanol, with an unbranched chain of carbons. Other commercially important octanols are 2-octanol and 2-ethylhexanol. Some octanols occur naturally in the form of esters in some essential oils.

Isomers

There are 89 possible isomers of octanol, including:
