2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID

CAS
149-57-5

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 CH (C 2 H 5 ) CO 2 H. It is a carboxylic acid that is widely used to prepare lipophilic metal derivatives that are soluble in non-polar organic solvents. ... 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is a colorless viscous oil. Supplied as a racemic mixture .
Production
2-ethylhexanoic acid producing industrial process of propylene which are hydroformylated to produce butyraldehyde . Aldol condensation of the aldehyde gives 2-ethylhexenal, which is 
hydrogenated to 2-ethylhexanal. Oxidation of this aldehyde gives the carboxylic acid.

2-Ethylhexanoic acid forms compounds with metal cations, which have a stoichiometry like metal acetates. These ethylhexanoate complexes are used in organic and industrial chemical 
synthesis . 
They function as catalysts in polymerization processes , and for oxidation reactions, as " oil desiccants ." They are highly soluble in non-polar solvents. These metal complexes
 are often referred to as salts. However, these are not ionic, but charge-neutral coordination complexes . Their structures are close to the corresponding acetates .

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is used for the synthesis and / or development of industrial products as a raw material.
Purpose of the product
The chemical is used for the synthesis and / or development of industrial products as a raw material.

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is a stable chemical from the subgroup of organic compounds. The aggregate state of the product is a transparent liquid. The main advantage of 2-Ethylhexanoic acid
 is its high boiling point. The metal salts of 2-ethylkesanoic acid are used in the role of an agent for imparting their rapid drying to the chemistry.
Ethylhexanoic acid is often used to produce
Paints;
Varnishes;
Wide range of enamels.
2-ethylhexanoic acid and its main task is to accelerate processes without harming the chemical structure of the product. The meaning of the technology is that 2-ethylhexanoic
 acid molecules receive oxygen using metals as a catalyst, accelerating the oxidation process of coating formation. 2-ethylhexanoic acid has excellent synergy with the metals cobalt
 and manganese.

2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID (2-EHA)
Description:

Monobasic saturated carboxylic acid, which is an isomer of octanoic (caprionic) acid. 2-Ethylhexanoic (2-EHA) acid is a chemical intermediate used in esters for PVC plasticizers and synthetic lubricants, metal salts for drying paints, automotive coolants, PVC stabilizers, cosmetics and various other fields.

Properties and Application:

2-ethylhexanoic acid is a strong reducing agent in terms of chemical properties. In appearance, 2-ethylene hexanoic acid is an oily, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, insoluble in water. As a carboxylic acid with a C8 carbon chain, 2-ethylhexanoic acid is widely used for various purposes. In the production of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) plasticizers and synthetic lubricants, acid is the main raw material for polyesters.

Also used as a raw material for drying paints and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilizers in the form of metal salts. In cosmetics, 2-EHA is used to produce emollients. Other uses include corrosion inhibitors in automotive coolants, catalysts for polymer production, acid chloride feedstocks, and fragrances.
