What is the 2-Ethylhexanol?

2-Ethylhexanol is colourless liquid, while it's Molecular Formula is C8H18O. colourless liquid 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is used as a flavor, fragrance and plasticizer. It is used to prepare diesters bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. It reacts with nitric acid and used as an octane booster. Its ester, 2-ethylhexyl ester is a component of sunscreen octocrylene. Further, it is used as a low volatility solvent for resins, animal fats, waxes, vegetable oils and petroleum derivatives. In addition to this, it is used in plasticizer, dioctyl phthalate, which is used in the production of polyvinyl chloride products.

What is the CAS number for 2-Ethylhexanol?

The CAS number of 2-Ethylhexanol is 104-76-7.

What is 2-Ethylhexanol (104-76-7) used for?

2-Ethylhexanol, also known as 2-ethyl hexanol, is a primary alcohol that is hexan-1-ol substituted by an ethyl group at position 2. It appears as a dark brown liquid with an aromatic odor, insoluble in water, and less dense than water. It has a flash point between 140 175°F and may irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It can be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a mild, oily, sweet, slightly floral odor reminiscent of rose and a sweet, fatty-floral taste with a fruity note. It is soluble in 720 times water and miscible in most organic solvents.InChI:InChI=1/C8H18O/c1-3-5-6-8(4-2)7-9/h8-9H,3-7H2,1-2H3/t8-/m0/s1

2-Ethylhexanol(Cas 104-76-7) Usage

Description	2-Ethylhexanol (2-ethyl-1-hexanol) [104-76-7], C8H18O, Mr130.23, ranks after the lighter alcohols (methanol to butanol) as the most important synthetic alcohol (see also ! Alcohols, Aliphatic) [1–3]. Approximately 2106 t/a are produced worldwide. 2-Ethylhexanol is mainly used as the alcohol component for the manufacture of ester plasticizers for soft poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and has been produced for this purpose since the mid-1930s. 2-Ethylhexanol has been frequently observed as an indoor volatile organic compound (VOC) (Edwards et al., 2001, Ezeonu et al., 1994, Pasanen et al., 1997). This compound has been shown to cause irritation to the skin, eyes and upper airway (Pasanen et al., 1997, Van Thriel et al., 2003) and its presence in buildings has also been linked to an increased frequency of asthma symptoms (Norback et al., 2000).
Air & Water Reactions	Insoluble in water.
Health Hazard	Anesthesia, nausea, headache, dizziness; mildly irritating to skin and eyes.
Fire Hazard	2-Ethylhexanol is combustible.
Synthesis	By hydrogenation of aldehydes obtained by the oxo process; also synthesized from propylene; by catalytic reduction of 2-ethyl-2-hexenal and other similar patented processes.
Chemical Structure	The structure of 2-Ethylhexanol is a branched, eight-carbon chain with a hydroxyl group (OH) on the second carbon atom, and an ethyl group attached to the second carbon as well; its chemical formula is CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH(C₂H₅)CH₂OH.

Preparation and properties of lubricant basestocks from epoxidized soybean oil and 2-ethylhexanol

Pour points of the products were observed as lows as −21 and −30°C without and with 1% of pour point depressant, respectively. When the hydroxy groups in the products were esterified with an acid anhydride, lower pour points were observed. Pour point depression of the product by adding PAO has been tested. Oxidative stability of the product was examined using pressurized DSC and compared with those of synthetic lubricant basestocks, PAO, and a synthetic ester.

The synthesis and basic properties of 2-ethylhexanol based innovative nonionic surfactants are described in this paper. 2-Ethylhexanol as an available and relatively inexpensive raw material was used as the hydrophobe source modified by propoxylation and followed by polyethoxylation.
