Application

  • 2,2-Dimethyl-1-propanol can be used in the synthesis of surfactant that stabilize reduced graphene oxide (rGO) dispersion.
  • Biodiesel containing branched-chain esters prepared by the transesterification of vegetable oils with 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol has been reported to show lower crystallization temperature when compared to methyl and ethyl ester counterparts.
