Jiang, Yang published the artcileImproved synthesis and low-temperature performance of a series of saturated ¦Á-branched fatty acids, Recommanded Product: 2-Butylhexanoic acid, the publication is Chemical Papers (2017), 71(12), 2359-2363, database is CAplus.
Five saturated ¦Á-branched fatty acids, also known as Guerbet acids, including ¦Á-propylhexyl acid (G1), ¦Á-butylhexyl acid (G2), ¦Á-propyloctyl acid (G3), ¦Á-butyloctyl acid (G4), and ¦Á-hexyloctyl acid (G5), were synthesized in high yields by four-step reaction. Colorless, almost odorless, and oily products were obtained with high purity, whose structures were confirmed by GC, 1H/13C NMR, and ESI-MS characterization. G1, G3, and G4 had pour points lower than -60 ¡ãC, while G2 and G5 showed higher pour points (-42 ¡ãC and 6 ¡ãC, resp.) because of their mol. symmetry. Considering the low-temperature properties, G1, G3, G4, and even G2 held great potential applications in the lubricant and oilfield.
Chemical Papers published new progress about 3115-28-4. 3115-28-4 belongs to catalysis-chemistry, auxiliary class Aliphatic Chain, name is 2-Butylhexanoic acid, and the molecular formula is C10H20O2, Recommanded Product: 2-Butylhexanoic acid.
