1-Hexanol is produced from coconut oil and palm oils. It is used in the production of antiseptics, fragrances and perfumes. 1-Hexanol is also used as a solvent in the production of plasticizers. [4] 1-Hexanol has been used as an odorant to study olfactory responses [5] [6] [7] and to thin the dielectric layer of poly (4-vinylphenol) (PVP). [8]
