Preparation
Caprylic alcohol is mainly produced industrially by the oligomerization of ethylene using triethylaluminium followed by oxidation of the alkylaluminium products.
This route is known as the Ziegler alcohol synthesis.
An idealized synthesis is shown:
Al(C2H5)3 + 9 C2H4 → Al(C8H17)3
Al(C8H17)3 + 3 O + 3 H2O → 3 HOC8H17 + Al(OH)3
The process generates a range of alcohols, which can be separated by distillation.
The Kuraray process defines an alternative route to Caprylic alcohol, but using C4 + C4 building strategy.
1,3-Butadiene is dimerized concomitant with the addition of one molecule of water.
This conversion is catalyzed by palladium complexes.
The resulting doubly unsaturated alcohol is then hydrogenated.
Caprylic alcohol exists in the form of free state or acetate, butyrate and isovalerate esters bitter in orange, grapefruit, sweet orange, green tea, violet leaves and other essential oils.
In industrial production, Caprylic alcohol can be obtained by the reduce of octyl aldehyde or the esterification of the octanoic acid in coconut oil.
Caprylic alcohol can also be prepared through carbonyl synthesis with heptene-1 as the raw material.
Heptene, carbon monoxide and hydrogen can react in the presence of cobalt salt at 150-170 °C and under high pressure of 20-30MPa to generate aldehyde.
After cobalt removal, the above aldehyde is converted into primary alcohol by pressurized hydrogenation with the catalyst of nickel.
There has been mature production technology of this method in foreign countries.
Caprylic alcohol is made commercially by sodium reduction or high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation of the esters of naturally occurring caprylic acid or by oligomerization of ethylene using aluminum alkyl technology.
