Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 5333-42-6, name is 2-octyldodecan-1-ol. This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows. Formula: C20H42O
Into a 250 ml glass reactor fitted with an Argon purge was placed the nonanoic acid (20.5 grams, 0.2 moles), 2-octyl-1-dodecanol (29.9 grams, 0.1 moles) and p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate (19 grams, 0.1 moles). The mixture above was purged with Argon at room temperature for one hour. The mixture was then heated to 100 C. under Argon purge for 18 hours. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature. The residue was then dissolved into 100 ml with ethyl acetate and placed into a separatory funnel. The ethyl acetate solution was extracted once with 100 ml of distilled water. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with 250 ml 10 wt % NaHCO3 aqueous solution followed by 250 ml saturated NaCl aqueous solution. The ethyl acetate solution was dried over MgSO4 and then filtered. The ethyl acetate was removed on the rotary evaporator from the solution. The residue from the rotary evaporator was placed on a Kugelrohr vacuum distillation apparatus where the ester was distilled. 1H NMR (CDCl3): delta4.01 (d, 2H, O-CH2-), 2.31 (d, 2H, O=C-CH2-), 1.63-1.33 (m, 45H, -CH2-), 0.88 (t, 9H, CH3). IR (cm-1): 2955, 2954, 2854, 1738, 1466, 1378, 1251, 1251, 1165, 1107, 722.
