2-Ethylhexanol

Most facilities make n-butanol and isobutanol in addition to 2-ethylhexanol.

It is an ester formed from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.

It is the principal precursor to 2-ethylhexanol, which is used as a plasticizer.

It is an ester formed by the condensation of a diphenylcyanoacrylate with 2-ethylhexanol.

The yellow liquid is a diester of phosphoric acid and 2-ethylhexanol.

It is the diester of phthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol.

The process entails the reaction of phthalic anhydride with 2-ethylhexanol:

Isooctanol and 2-ethylhexanol are not synonyms.

Palmitic acid and 2-ethylhexanol are reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst to make the ester.

DEHA is an ester of 2-ethylhexanol and adipic acid.

DEHPA is prepared through the reaction of phosphorus pentoxide and 2-ethylhexanol:

Almost all 2-ethylhexanol is converted into the di esters bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer.

Ethylhexyl palmitate, or octyl palmitate, is the fatty acid ester derived from 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid.

The other source is the metabolism of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) the two ester bonds are hydrolysed and the resulting 2-ethylhexanol is oxidized in the organism to 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
