General description

2-Octyl-1-dodecanol is a branched alcohol.

Application

2-Octyl-1-dodecanol may be used to investigate its interaction with the hexameric capsules of resorcin[4]arene. It has been used as diluent in a extractant screening study for the recovery of putrescine (butylene-1,4-diamine, BDA) and cadaverine (pentylene-1,5-diamine, PDA) from aqueous solutions (fermentation broths) by liquid-liquid extraction.

After more than a century of research on resorcin[4]arenes (1) it is clear that such systems form spontaneously [1(6)(H(2)O)(8)]-type hexameric capsules in wet, non-polar, organic solvents. However, the interactions of these hexameric capsules with alcohols are far from being solved.
