Bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

viscous colourless liquid

Uses

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate is used as a plasticizer. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals agrochemicals and dyestuff fields.

Uses

BEHS was used in preparing PVC-membrane anionic-surfactants-selective electrodes.

Uses

In vacuum pumps.

Production Methods

Di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate is manufactured by esterifying 2-ethylhexanol with sebacic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst.

General Description

Clear pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. Insoluble in water.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Dioctyl sebacate (Bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate) is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Dioctyl sebacate can react with oxidizing materials. Dioctyl sebacate will hydrolyze under acidic or basic conditions.

Fire Hazard

Dioctyl sebacate is probably combustible.
