2-DECANOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

2-Decanol is used to develop a miniature catalytic reactor for the oxidation of alcohols with O2 in supercritical CO2. It was used to study the substrate spectrum of phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase with regard to the length of both the acyl chain and the branch at position.
