2-Octanol has a larger fraction of less cooperative and more ordered clusters, and its H-bond energy is smaller than that of 1-octanol.
Application Differences Between 1-Octanol and 2-Octanol
1-Octanol (1 octanol CAS: 111-87-5)
It is used as a solvent in paints, varnishes, waxes, and surface coatings and mainly involved in agricultural chemistry to inhibit excessive growth of tobacco plants. 1-Octanol (also known as 1 octyl alcohol ) is miscible with ethanol, ether and propylene glycol. Immiscible with water. It is commonly referred to as octanol CAS: 111-87-5 in industrial applications.
2-Octanol(CAS: 71-36-3)
The 2-Octanol can be used as chemical intermediate for surfactants, esters, phosphates, etc. It can replace many primary alcohols for making esters for plasticizers, emollients for cosmetics, synthetic lubricants, adhesives, etc. It can also be used as defoamer in various defoaming formulations.
