Conclusions:
Boiling point of Nonan-1-ol: 212.1°C at atmospheric pressure, no decomposition was reported.
Executive summary:
Boiling point of Nonan-1 -ol: 212.1°C at atmospheric pressure, no decomposition was reported, determined according to ASTM E537 -07.

Description of key information

The boiling point of nonan-1-ol is 212°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
212 °C

Additional information

The boiling point of 212°C was determined in a reliable study.

It is supported by a value of 213.5°C taken from a reliable handbook, and a consistent result from another reference source.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

As chain length increases, boiling point increases. This is because molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher. There is some evidence for decomposition before boiling for the longest chain alcohols in this group.
