. It is a colorless oily liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. 2-Octanol is classified fatty alcohol. A secondary alcohol, it is chiral.

Production

2-Octanol is produced commercially by base-cleavage of ricinoleic acid.[8] The coproduct is a mixture of sebacic acid ((C

). Castor oil, which consists mainly of triglycerides of ricinoleic acid, is the main feedstock.[9] [10]

Uses

2-Octanol is mainly used as:

It can also be used as a chemical intermediate for production of various other chemicals:

  • Surfactants (ethoxylates, sulfates, ether sulfates, etc.),
  • Cosmetic emollients esters (palmitate, adipate, maleate, stearate, myristate, etc.),[19]
  • Plasticizers (acrylates, maleates, etc.),
  • Pesticides: Dinocap [20][21]
  • Lubricants: Zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP)
  • Fragrances (salicylate)
  • Used in the manufacturing of perfumes and disinfectant soaps[22]
  • Used to prevent foaming and as a solvent for fats and waxes[22]
  • Used to examine and control Essential Tremor and other types of involuntary neurological tremors[22]
