General description

2-Hexyl-1-decanol is a branched alcohol. It is one of the constituent of the essential oil, extracted from the roots of Adiantum flabellulatum. It is a long-chain glass forming monohydroxy alcohol and its dielectric relaxation at low temperature has been studied.

Application

2-Hexyl-1-decanol may be employed as an organic solvent to study the extraction of non-polar acidic drugs from human plasma by parallel artificial liquid membrane extraction (PALME).

The dielectric relaxation of two long-chain glass forming monohydroxy alcohols, 2-butyl-1-octanol and 2-hexyl-1-decanol, is studied at low temperature. Remarkable broadening from the pure Debye relaxation is identified for the slowest dynamics, differing from the dielectric spectra of short-chain alcohols. The
