2-Octanol (octan-2-ol, 2-OH) is a fatty alcohol. It is a secondary eight-carbon chiral compound. 2-Octanol is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. 2-Octanol can be a biobased alternative of 2-ethylhexanol and its derivates in numerous applications.

Manufacturing[]

Cleavage of ricinoleic acid produces a mixture of 2-octanol and sebacic acid ((CH₂)₈(CO₂H)₂).^[8]^[9]

Uses[]

2-Octanol is mainly used as:

Flavor^[7]^[10]^[11]^[12]
low-volatility solvent : Diverses Resins (Paints & Coatings, Adhesives, Inks, etc.), Agrochemicals, Mineral Extraction, etc....^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16]
Defoaming agent : Pulp & Paper, Oil & Gas, Cement, Coatings, Coal, etc.
a frother in mineral flotation^[17]
wetting agent

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.),^[18]
Plasticizers (acrylates, maleates, etc.),
Pesticides: Dinocap ^[19]^[20]
Lubricants: Zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP)
Fragrances (salicylate)
Used in the manufacturing of perfumes and disinfectant soaps^[21]
Used to prevent foaming and as a solvent for fats and waxes^[21]
Used to examine and control Essential Tremor and other types of involuntary neurological tremors^[21]
