Use | 2-hexyl-1-decanol is a Gerbert alcohol, which is a branched alcohol obtained by dehydration and condensation of aliphatic alcohols. In the fields of surfactants, fiber oils, softeners, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, etc., Gerbert alcohol is a useful substance used as a direct or intermediate raw material. |
preparation | a preparation method of isomeric decanol, the steps are as follows:(1) 130g of n-octanol and 3.5g, 45wt% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution are sequentially added to 250ml three-mouth bottles for mixing, stirred at 250rpm for 8min, then raised to 165 ℃ for 3 hours;(2) The mixed solution in step (1) is cooled to 20 ℃, add 0.28g zinc powder, stir for 8min, raise the temperature to 195 ℃, and react for 5h; Then continue to raise the temperature to 240 ℃, react for 30min, and then drop to 20 ℃;(3) the reaction product in step (2) is extracted by adding 120g n-heptane, and washed with water until the pH value is 6-7; The vacuum degree is controlled to be kept at -0.096 ~ 0.098MPa, and the fraction at 170~190 ℃ is collected by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain 111.02g colorless transparent liquid, it is isomeric decanol with a yield of 91.75%. The number average molecular weight of the colorless transparent liquid prepared by WATER gel permeation chromatograph is 238g/ mol,Mw/Mn = 1.05. The hydroxyl content of colorless transparent liquid measured by hydroxyl content titration method is 7.15%, which is 7.02% similar to the theoretical hydroxyl content. The product is determined to be isomeric decanol. The purity of the product was 96.79% by high performance liquid chromatography. |
