Chemistry:1,8-Octanediol

From HandWiki

1,8-Octanediol, also known as octamethylene glycol, is a diol with the molecular formula HO(CH2)8OH, a white solid. It can be produced with high purity by hydrogenation of esters of suberic acid.[1]: 133 

1,8-Octanediol, which has a low melting temperature, can be found at high purity for relatively low cost. These characteristics are ideal for a reference material at moderate temperature in the context of solid-liquid Phase-Changing Materials (PCMs).[2]

1,8-Octanediol dihexanoate strongly attracts adult male Parallelostethus attenuatus click beetles, and the pheromone of this species may consist entirely of this compound.[3]

Applications

Cosmetics

It is sometimes an ingredient of cosmetics as a plasticizer.[4]


Polymers

1,8-Octanediol is used as a monomer in the synthesis of some polymers such as polyesters[5] and polyurethanes. For example, poly(octanediol-co-citrate) is a biodegradable polymer that can be made antibacterial for biomedical applications.[6] This polymer, abbreviated POC[7][8] and also sometimes called poly(octamethylene-citrate),[8] is promising as a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, and has been extensively investigated in relation to soft tissue engineering.[7]

A polymer created from 1,8-octanediol, citric acid, and sebacic acid, called polyoctanediol citrate/sebacate [p(OCS)], has also been synthesized.[9]

Synthesis

It can also be used in the synthesis of PCE.[10]
