In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 5333-42-6, name is 2-octyldodecan-1-ol, the common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. Computed Properties of C20H42O
Example 7 Preparation of 2-octyldodecyl heptanoate To a 3-neck 1000 ml round-bottomed flask was added 2-octyl-1-dodecanol (250.0 g, 837.37 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), n-heptanoic acid (141.72 g, 1088.6 mmol, 1.30 equiv.), toluene (250 ml) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (1.5929 g, 8.374 mmol, 0.010 equiv.) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was heated at reflux with stirring in an oil bath at 134 C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 18 hours. The water produced in the reaction was collected in a Dean-Stark trap. The cooled mixture was diluted with hexanes, washed with dilute aqueous 10% Na2CO3 solution, water, brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford a crude product. Excess solvent was further removed by heating the crude product with stirring in an oil bath under high vacuum for 3 hours to afford a light yellow liquid (326.7 g, 95%).
The synthetic route of 5333-42-6 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
