Production

2-Octanol is produced commercially by base-cleavage of ricinoleic acid. [8] The coproduct is a mixture of sebacic acid ((C8H16CO2H)2). Castor oil, which consists mainly of triglycerides of ricinoleic acid, is the main feedstock. [9] [10]

Uses

2-Octanol is mainly used as:

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

It is used at low levels, and works by decreasing the friction between the solid particles in molten chocolate, reducing the yield stress so that it flows more easily, approaching the behaviour of a Newtonian fluid. It can also be used as an emulsifier in spreads and in salad dressings, or to improve the texture of baked goods. It is made up of a short chain of glycerol molecules connected by ether bonds, with ricinoleic acid side chains connected by ester bonds.
