Usage

Description

2-METHYL-1-NONANOL, also known as 2-methylnonyl alcohol, is an organic compound belonging to the alcohol family. It is a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor and is characterized by its molecular formula C10H22O. 2-METHYL-1-NONANOL is known for its unique chemical properties and versatile applications across various industries.

Uses

Used in Chemical Industry:
2-METHYL-1-NONANOL is used as a catalyst for the preparation of alkylphosphine-containing polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane-based dendrimers. These dendrimers serve as ligands for rhodium catalysts, which are essential in the hydrocarbonylation of alkenes. The application reason for using 2-METHYL-1-NONANOL in this process is its ability to facilitate the formation of the desired dendrimers, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the rhodium catalysts in the hydrocarbonylation reaction.

Hydrofunctionalization of olefins to value-added chemicals: Via photocatalytic coupling

A green strategy was developed for the synthesis of various value-added chemicals using methanol, acetonitrile, acetic acid, acetone and ethyl acetate as the hydrogen source by coupling them with olefins over heterogeneous photocatalysts. A radical coupling mechanism was proposed for the hydrofunctionalization of olefins with methanol to higher aliphatic alcohols over the Pt/TiO2 catalyst as the model reaction. C-H bond cleavage and C-C bond formation between photogenerated radicals and terminal olefins were accomplished in a single reaction at high efficiency. Our approach is atomically economical with high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and promising application potential under mild reaction conditions.

Do enzymes recognise remotely located stereocentres? Highly enantioselective Candida rugosa lipase-catalysed esterification of the 2- to 8-methyldecanoic acids

Several racemic methyl decanoic acids have been synthesised and successfully resolved in esterification with 1-hexadecanol at aw=0.8 in cyclohexane using immobilised Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) as the catalyst. The enantiomeric ratios (E=2.8-68) obtained were surprisingly high even when the methyl group was as remotely located as in 8-methyldecanoic acid (E=25). Interestingly, the lipase shows enantiopreference for the S-enantiomer when the methyl group is located on even numbered carbons i.e. for the 2-,4-,6- and 8-methyldecanoic acids and to the R-enantiomer when the methyl group is located on uneven numbered carbons i.e. for the 3-,5- and 7-methyldecanoic acids.

Application de la reaction de Guerbet a la methylation de n-alcanols primaires

The Guerbet reaction is applied to the methylation of different primary n-alkanols.For 1-n-undecanol 1, selectivities of 70 to 80 percent in 2-methylation are obtained using an excess of methanol, sodium or sodium methoxide as bases and nickel or palladium as catalysts.These transformations which were extended to other primary n-alkanols are obtained at lower temperatures (160-200 deg C) than in the described hitherto conditions.Industrial applications of this Guerbet reaction could be of great interest in these simpler experimental conditions.
