Description

General description

1,2-Octanediol is a potential pediculicide and is useful for treating head louse infestation clinically.

Application

1,2-Octanediol was used as organic modifier to improve the HPLC separation of organic acids and bases. It was also used in preparation of halohydrin palmitates.

Preparation of (S)-1-Halo-2-octanols Using Ionic Liquids and Biocatalysts.

Mireia Oromí-Farrús et al.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 14(10), 4275-4283 (2009-11-20)

Preparation of (S)-1-chloro-2-octanol and (S)-1-bromo-2-octanol was carried out by the enzymatic hydrolysis of halohydrin palmitates using biocatalysts. Halohydrin palmitates were prepared by various methods from palmitic acid and 1,2-octanediol. A tandem hydrolysis was carried out using lipases from Candida antarctica

Interest in developing physically active pediculicides has identified new active substances. The objective was to evaluate a new treatment for clinical efficacy. We describe the selection of 1,2-octanediol as a potential pediculicide. Clinical studies were community based. The main outcome

Organic modifiers for the separation of organic acids and bases by liquid chromatography.

Shelly Li et al.

Journal of chromatography. A, 964(1-2), 91-98 (2002-08-30)

A straight-chain alcohol or diol additive in the mobile phase was used to modify and improve the HPLC separation of organic acids and bases. Incorporation of 2% 1-butanol, 1% 1,2-hexanediol, or 0.25% 1,2-octanediol into an aqueous mobile phase greatly improved
