Binary solutions of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2E1H) with 2-ethyl-1-hexyl bromide (2E1Br) are investigated by means of dielectric, shear mechanical, near-infrared, and solvation spectroscopy as well as dielectrically monitored physical aging. For moderately diluted 2E1H the slow Debye-like process, which dominates the dielectric

The commonly used plasticizers di-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and di-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA) are known to partially degrade in the presence of soil microorganisms, such as Rhodococcus rhodochrous, releasing persistent and toxic metabolites. The metabolites adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol were both shown
