2-Hexanol (hexan-2-ol) is a six-carbonalcohol in which thehydroxy group (OH) is located on the second carbon atom. Its chemical formula is C6H14O or C6H13OH. It is anisomer of the otherhexanols. 2-Hexanol has achiral center and can be resolved into two differentenantiomers.
Its toxicity is based onmetabolism tohexane-2,5-dione.[3]
