D(+)-2-Octanol

Colorless to light yellow liqui

(2S)-octan-2-ol is an octan-2-ol. It is an enantiomer of a (2R)-octan-2-ol.

2-Octanol is a fatty alcohol. It is directly produced from vegetal chemistry. In industry, it is produced by a cracking process from castor oil.2-octanol is mainly used as a raw material to produce caproic acid, an intermediate in flavor. It is used as a green solvent for various resins intended for paints and coatings or adhesives sectors.  It can be employed as a defoamer in different processes, as an additive for lubricants, and as a solvent in rare minerals extraction. In coal industry, it is used as floatation agent and as a frother in mineral flotation. As an intermediate, 2-octanol can be used in synthesis of a wide range of plasticizers, esters, and surfactants, which include alcohol alkoxylates and sulfates for detergency and personal care markets; adipates, aebacates, palmitates, stearates for applications in cosmetic, paints and coatings, plastic, paper, textile, etc…; phthalates; acrylates and maleates for coatings and adhesives markets; salicylate, myristate, méthoxycinnamate for application in fragrances.

Used in paint, enamel, perfume, organic synthesis and anti-foaming agent. 1. Used in the manufacture of plasticizers, synthetic fiber oils, defoamers, mining flotation agents, pesticide emulsifiers and spices, and can also be used as a solvent for oils and waxes. Used as a solvent for nitro spray paint and enamel, it can improve ductility, gloss and fluidity. It is also used as a fiber wetting agent, brake oil, anti-emulsifier and raw material for plasticizers and fragrances. In addition, 2-octanol is still used to adjust the viscosity of urea-formaldehyde resin. 2. Esterification with phthalic anhydride to produce di-secondary octyl phthalate, which is an excellent plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride plastics. 2-octanol is also used as synthetic fiber oil, defoamer and surface active It can also be used as a raw material for flotation agents and pesticide emulsifiers used in coal mines, and also as a solvent for oils and waxes.

(S)-(+)-2-Octanol is used as chiral compounds.

(S)-(+)-2-Octanol can be used:To prepare the solution of 5-(benzyloxy)-isophthalic acid derivative, which is used as a 2D chiral self-assembly system comprising pyrolytic graphite.As a chiral template in the study of enantioselective glycidol esterification.As a starting material for the preparation of (+)-(S)-2-octyI tosylate, an intermediate used to prepare ()-(R)-2-halo and azido octanes.
