General description

2-Butyl-1-octanol (BuOA) is a long-chain glass forming monohydroxy alcohol.[1]

Application

2-Butyl-1-octanol (BuOA) has been used to synthesize:
  • 2-butyl-1-octyl-methacrylate (BOMA)[2]
  • 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexyl methacrylate (TMHMA)[2]
  • hydrophobic polyesters in miniemulsion in the presence of large amounts of water[3]

It has also been used as an extraction solvent in extractive fed-batch experiments.[4]

Acetone/butanol/ethanol (ABE) fermentation by Clostridium acetobutylicum was investigated in extractive fed-batch experiments. In conventional fermentations, metabolic activity ceases when a critical threshold products concentration is reached (~21.6 g solvents l(-1)). Solvents production was increased up to 36.6 and 37.2 g

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
