octan-2-ylbenzene

Description:

Octan-2-ylbenzene, also known as 1-phenyl-2-octanol, is an organic compound characterized by a phenyl group attached to a branched octyl chain. Its molecular structure features a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, which contributes to its non-polar characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The compound typically exhibits a relatively high boiling point due to the presence of the alkyl chain, which increases van der Waals forces. Octan-2-ylbenzene is often used in organic synthesis and as a solvent or intermediate in various chemical processes. Its properties include a moderate density and a tendency to be stable under standard conditions, although it may undergo reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may pose health risks. Overall, octan-2-ylbenzene is a versatile compound with applications in both industrial and laboratory settings.

(1-Methylheptyl)benzene

CAS: 777-22-0

(1-Methylheptyl)benzene is a high-molecular weight organic compound that has been used as an additive in lubricants, paints, and coatings. It has also been used in the production of herbicides and insecticides. The activation energy for the reaction of (1-methylheptyl)benzene with oxygen is very low, indicating that it is an acidic compound. Regression analysis shows that the activation energies for reactions involving (1-methylheptyl)benzene are dependent on the number of methyl groups present. A greater number of methyl groups corresponds to a lower activation energy and greater selectivity in reactions involving this compound. The strain on a molecule also impacts the activation energy for its reaction with other molecules. For example, lanthanum (La3+) ions increase the activation energy of the reaction between (1-methylheptyl)benzene and oxygen because they stabilize alkoxide ions more than hydroxide
