Application

(S)-(+)-2-Octanol can be used:
  • To prepare the solution of 5-(benzyloxy)-isophthalic acid derivative, which is used as a 2D chiral self-assembly system comprising pyrolytic graphite.
  • As a chiral template in the study of enantioselective glycidol esterification.
  • As a starting material for the preparation of (+)-(S)-2-octyI tosylate, an intermediate used to prepare (−)-(R)-2-halo and azido octanes.
