General description

1-Octanol is a saturated fatty alcohol with potential application as a biofuel due to its diesel-like properties.

Application

1-Octanol may be used to prepare octanal via aerobic oxidation a polymer-supported 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl as catalyst and Co(NO3)2 and Mn(NO3)2 as co-catalysts.
