1,10-Decanediol is an organic compound diol with the chemical formula (HOCH2(CH2)8CH2OH. It is a white solid with limited solubility in water. [1] [3] The molecular configuration of 1,10-decanediol is described as having a zigzag conformation. [4]

Contents

Preparation

It is traditionally synthesized by reduction of diesters of sebacic acid, which are readily obtained from natural sources. One method is the Bouveault-Blanc reduction. [5]

Other more specialized reagents have been used such as sodium borohydride/cerium(III) chloride. [6] The electrochemical reduction of diethyl sebacate in liquid ammonia can yield 1,10-decanediol. [7]

Other sebacic acid precursor have been used such as diethyl dithiosebacate with tetrabutylammonium borohydride [8] and sebacic acid itself and diisopropyltitanium(III) borohydride. [9]

Reactions

The bromination of 1,10-decanediol yields 1,10-dibromodecane, [10] whereas the reaction with thionyl chloride results in the formation of 1,10-dichlorodecane. [11] The reaction involving 1,10-decanediol, iodine, and ammonia results in the formation of sebaconitrile. [12]

Uses

Pyrolysis of poly(1,10-decylenecarbonate), the polycarbonate derived from 1,10-decanediol, gives 9-decenol as described by the following idealized equation: [13]

(OCH2(CH2)8CH2O)CO → 2 CH2=CH(CH2)7CH2OH + CO2

1,10-Decanediol, along with its isomers 1,9-decanediol and 1,2-decanediol, functions as an inhibitor of soil nitrification. [14] This inhibition can mitigate nitrogen loss from soil and prevent the environmental issues associated with nitrification in agricultural settings. [14] Furthermore, these diols exhibit a significant inhibitory effect on nitrite-forming microorganisms, even at low concentrations. [14]
