2-Butyloctanol is a fully synthetic, branched primary alcohol . It is of little importance as a solvent . Most of it is chemically processed. The technical product is a 1: 1 mixture ( racemate ) of two isomeric forms:

( R ) -2-butyloctanol and
( S ) -2-butyloctanol.

Occurrence

Safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius ), inflorescence

2-Butyloctanol occurs naturally in safflower oil from safflower , tobacco smoke , Changium smyrnioides , real hops , Lonicera japonica and Portulaca oleracea .

Extraction and presentation

2-Butyloctanol can be obtained by condensation from 1-hexanol and a catalyst .

properties

2-Butyloctanol is a flammable, hardly ignitable, colorless liquid that is practically insoluble in water.

use

2-Butyloctanol is used as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds, such as 2-butyl-1-octyl methacrylate (BOMA) and 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexyl methacrylate (TMHMA), and as a solvent.
