colorless flammable oily liquid with aromatic odor. Low toxicity. Melting Point -38 °c. Boiling point 178~179 deg C. Flash point (Open Cup) 88 °c. Refractive index 4256. The relative density was 0.835. Viscosity (20 deg C) 8.2mPa.s. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, ether and chloroform.
by hydrolysis of castor oil into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol, glycerol recovery after the role of ricinoleic acid and alkali to its sodium salt, it and strong alkali in high temperature cracking, the sodium ricinolate molecule undergoes self-oxidation, and the chain is broken to obtain 2-octanol and sebacic acid disodium salt, and the separated secondary octanol aqueous solution is evaporated to obtain the finished product.
esterification with phthalic anhydride to produce di-SEC-octyl phthalate, which is an excellent plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride plastics. 2 A octanol is also used as a synthetic fiber oil agent, defoaming agent and preparation of surfactant, coal mine flotation agent and pesticide emulsifier raw materials, can also be used as a solvent for oil and wax.

Introduction | Secondary octanol is a colorless liquid with an aromatic smell, which can be prepared by distilling sodium ricinoleate with excess sodium hydroxide. |
Source | Two optically active isomers of sec-octanol have been found, and this substance is found in a few types of mint and lavender. It is also reported that this substance is also contained in apples, bananas, kumquat peel oil, cranberries, asparagus, peas, thyme, cheese, chicken and beef fat, hops oil, beer, brandy, rum, wine, tea, oats, soybeans, coconut meat, Brazil nuts, buckwheat, loquat, sweet corn and bilberry wine. |
content analysis | determined by non-polar column method in gas chromatography (GT-10-4). |
