2-Octanol (octan-2-ol, 2-OH) is a fatty alcohol. It is a secondary eight-carbon chiral compound. 2-Octanol is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents.

It is used such as or as a raw material in various applications: flavors and fragrances, paints and coatings, inks, adhesives, home care, lubricants and fuels. 2-Octanol can be a biobased alternative of 2-ethylhexanol and its derivates in numerous applications.

Manufacturing

2-Octanol is produced from castor oil through a cracking process. It is created as a by-product of sebacic acid manufacturing.^[8] Nowadays, India and China are the key producing countries of castor oil. Consequently, the majority of 2-Octanol production comes from these two countries: China & India.

Uses

2-Octanol is mainly used as:

• Flavor^{[7][9][10][11]}
• low-volatility solvent : Diverses Resins (Paints & Coatings, Adhesives, Inks, etc.), Agrochemicals, Mineral Extraction, etc.… ^{[12][13][14][15]}
• Defoaming agent : Pulp & Paper, Oil & Gas, Cement, Coatings, Coal, etc.
• a frother in mineral flotation^[16]
• wetting agent

It can also be used as a chemical intermediate for production of various other chemicals:

• Surfactants (ethoxylates, sulfates, ether sulfates, etc.),
• Cosmetic emollients esters (palmitate, adipate, maleate, stearate, myristate, etc.),^[17]
• Plasticizers (acrylates, maleates, etc.),
• Pesticides: Dinocap ^[18][19]
• Lubricants: Zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP)
• Fragrances (salicylate)
