1-Octanol is a synthetic reagent used to produce esters. It inhibits T-type calcium channels and is used to determine the partition coefficient between compounds and the cytosol. It is used to evaluate the lipophilicity of pharmaceutical products. It is also used as a solvent for protective coatings, waxes, and oils, and as a raw material for plasticizers.
