Not to be confused with octanal, octenol, 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.

There are 89 possible isomers of octanol.[citation needed] Some octanols occur naturally in the form of esters in some essential oils.[1]
