2-Ethylhexanol

Description:

2-Ethylhexanol is a branched-chain, aliphatic alcohol characterized by its eight-carbon structure, specifically an octanol with a hydroxyl group (-OH) located on the second carbon of the chain. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. 2-Ethylhexanol is primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers, particularly dioctyl phthalate, which is widely used in the manufacture of flexible plastics. Additionally, it serves as a surfactant and is involved in the synthesis of various chemical products. The substance has a relatively low toxicity profile, but like many organic solvents, it can pose health risks upon prolonged exposure, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling. Its boiling point and flash point indicate that it should be stored away from heat sources and open flames to prevent fire hazards.

2-Ethyl-1-hexanol

CAS: 104-76-7

2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is a colorless liquid that is used as an inhibitor for the hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids. The compound has been shown to inhibit the phosphotungstic acid catalyzed hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids with a low melting point. 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol inhibits mitochondrial membrane potential by binding to the hydroxyl group in the fatty acid and forming a hydrogen bond interaction. 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol also has toxic effects on animals, which may be due to its ability to induce symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and central nervous system depression. These effects are thought to be due to its strong interactions with hydroxyl groups in fatty acids.br>br> 2-Ethyl hexanol can reduce the viscosity of oils and fats at high temperatures, which makes it an effective "solid" catalyst for processes that require thermal expansion. When heated at constant pressure, 2-ethyl hexanol
