Application

2-Methyl-2-hexanol was used in the preparation of esterified phenol. It is used to study the effect of organic solvent on the equillibrium of lipase-catalyzed esterification of glycerol and decanoic acid.
2-Methyl-2-hexanol was used to study the mass accommodation coefficient (α) on 1-methylnaphthalene as a function of temperature (267 K to 298 K) for gas-phase of the product.
