Inositol (CAS 87-89-8) is a white, crystalline, odorless solid at room temperature, with a melting point of approximately 225–230 °C and low volatility. It is a cyclic polyalcohol—specifically, a stereoisomer of cyclohexanehexol—and classified as an organic chemical compound. Industrially, inositol serves primarily as a biochemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and specialty chemicals, including phosphatidylinositol derivatives and inositol phosphates. Its principal application areas include human and animal nutrition (as a vitamin-like supplement), pharmaceutical formulations (e.g., for metabolic and neurological health), and as a precursor in the production of surfactants and chelating agents.
