Application

2-Butyl-1-octanol (BuOA) has been used to synthesize:
  • 2-butyl-1-octyl-methacrylate (BOMA)
  • 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexyl methacrylate (TMHMA)
  • hydrophobic polyesters in miniemulsion in the presence of large amounts of water

It has also been used as an extraction solvent in extractive fed-batch experiments.

General description

2-Butyl-1-octanol (BuOA) is a long-chain glass forming monohydroxy alcohol.

Acetone/butanol/ethanol (ABE) fermentation by Clostridium acetobutylicum was investigated in extractive fed-batch experiments. In conventional fermentations, metabolic activity ceases when a critical threshold products concentration is reached (~21.6 g solvents l(-1)). Solvents production was increased up to 36.6 and 37.2 g

Seven amphiphilic conetworks of methacrylic acid (MAA) and a new hydrophobic monomer, 2-butyl-1-octyl-methacrylate (BOMA), were synthesized using group transfer polymerization. The MAA units were introduced via the polymerization of tetrahydropyranyl methacrylate (THPMA) followed by the removal of the protecting tetrahydropyranyl

The dielectric relaxation of two long-chain glass forming monohydroxy alcohols, 2-butyl-1-octanol and 2-hexyl-1-decanol, is studied at low temperature. Remarkable broadening from the pure Debye relaxation is identified for the slowest dynamics, differing from the dielectric spectra of short-chain alcohols. The
