2-Ethylhexanol exhibits low toxicity in animal models, with LD50 ranging from 2-3 g/kg (rat). [3] 2-Ethylhexanol has been identified as a cause of indoor air quality related health problems, such as respiratory system irritation, as a volatile organic compound. 2-Ethylhexanol is emitted to air from a PVC flooring installed on concrete that had not been dried properly.
Oxo alcohols are alcohols that are prepared by adding carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (usually combined as synthesis gas) to an olefin to obtain an aldehyde using the hydroformylation reaction and then hydrogenating the aldehyde to obtain the alcohol. [1]
2-Ethylhexanal is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH(C 2 H 5)CHO. A colorless liquid, it is produced on a large scale industrially as a precursor to 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 2-ethylhexanol, both used as precursors to plasticizers. It was studied in the detergent industry since the 1930s. [2]
Commercially available demulsifier formulations are typically a mixture of two to four different chemistries, in carrier solvent(s) such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphtha (HAN), Isopropanol, methanol, 2-Ethylhexanol or diesel. Demulsifiers are manufactured by chemical manufacturers including: Arkema; Baker Hughes; BASF; ChampionX; Clariant; Dow ...
The original 1899 publication concerned the conversion of n-butanol to 2-ethylhexanol. [2] 2-ethylhexanol is however more easily prepared by alternative methods (from butyraldehyde by aldol condensation). Instead, the Guerbet reaction is mainly applied to fatty alcohols to afford oily products, which are called Guerbet alcohols. They are of ...
Synthesis of bis(2-ethylhexyl)-tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) from tetrabromophthalic anhydride and 2-ethylhexanol. In this general synthesis method, tetrabromophthalic anhydride and 2-ethylhexanol are used as raw materials in a molar mass ratio of 3-7:1.
Di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA or HDEHP) is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (C 8 H 17 O) 2 PO 2 H. The colorless liquid is a diester of phosphoric acid and 2-ethylhexanol. It is used in the solvent extraction of uranium, vanadium and the rare-earth metals. [1]
Padimate O is an organic compound related to the water-soluble compound PABA (4-aminobenzoic acid) that is used as an ingredient in some sunscreens.This yellowish water-insoluble oily liquid is an ester formed by the condensation of 2-ethylhexanol with dimethylaminobenzoic acid.
