Descrição

2-Ethylhexanal is a colorless gas with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is used as an extractant in the polymerase chain reaction. 2-Ethylhexanal reacts with copper(II) chloride to form copper(II) ethylhexanoate, which can be extracted from the reaction mixture with water or other solvents. The reaction mechanism of 2-ethylhexanal with copper(II) chloride involves hydroxylation of the ethyl group by copper(II) ions and subsequent protonation at the more acidic position on the carbon atom adjacent to the hydroxyl group. This results in formation of a carboxylic acid that then reacts with an alcohol to form an ester. The ester formed is volatile and can be removed from solution by distillation or evaporation.
