it is understood that decanol is also known as n-decanol, decanol, etc. it is a colorless and transparent liquid with a waxy, sweet, floral, and fruity aroma, similar to a mixture of citronellol orris root oil. miscible with alcohol, ether, acetone, benzene, glacial acetic acid, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride, etc. dissolves 0.02% in water at 20°c; water dissolves 3% in decanol.
the production method of decanol is as follows:
1. natural products use coconut oil as raw material, and undergo high temperature and high pressure in the presence of mixed oxides. derived from hydrogenation. the even-numbered carbon-atom mixed alcohols (including low-carbon alcohols to octadecyl alcohols) obtained by the reaction are fractionated under reduced pressure. the c8-c12 fraction is refined by boric acid esterification. after hydrolysis, it is fractionated under reduced pressure. it can also be carbonylated from nonane. nonaldehyde is made, then reduced to nonanol, and distilled and refined.
2. propylene is polymerized in the presence of phosphoric acid or boron fluoride to obtain nonene, which is obtained by reacting with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the liquid phase.
