1- Decanol

Acid catalyzed hydration converts alkenes to alcohols with regioselectivity according to Markovnikov s rule Frequently however one needs an alcohol having a structure that corresponds to hydration of an alkene with a regioselectivity opposite to that of Markovnikov s rule The conversion of 1 decene to 1 decanol is an example of such a transformation...

Off-Shoot-O. The methyl esters of the Cg—C 2 fatty acids (40) are collectively sold under the name Off-Shoot-O and are closely related to 1-decanol, the fatty alcohol sold to control axillary shoots in tobacco. The material is a contact-type chemical used to pinch ornamental plants such as a2aleas, cotoneaster, juniper Juniperus sp. privet, rhamnus, and taxus (Taxus sp. sp.). As a result of treatment the shmbs become bushier. The mode of action is by plasmolysis of the young, sensitive tissues. Therefore, appHcation timing may be critical. 

Several procedures are used to control the ratios of cyclodextrins produced. One is addition of a substance to the reaction mixture that can gready affect the formation of one specific cyclodextrin over another. For example, in the presence of 1-decanol and 1-nonanol, a-cyclodextrin is produced almost exclusively whereas hexane or toluene promote the production of P-cyclodextrin. Conversely both cyclodextrins are produced simultaneously in the presence of 1-heptanol (2,4).

An example for a partially known ternary phase diagram is the sodium octane 1 -sulfonate/ 1-decanol/water system [61]. Figure 34 shows the isotropic areas L, and L2 for the water-rich surfactant phase with solubilized alcohol and for the solvent-rich surfactant phase with solubilized water, respectively. Furthermore, the lamellar neat phase D and the anisotropic hexagonal middle phase E are indicated (for systematics, cf. Ref. 62). For the quaternary sodium octane 1-sulfonate (A)/l-butanol (B)/n-tetradecane (0)/water (W) system, the tricritical point which characterizes the transition of three coexisting phases into one liquid phase is at 40.1°C A, 0.042 (mass parts) B, 0.958 (A + B = 56 wt %) O, 0.54 W, 0.46 [63]. For both the binary phase equilibrium dodecane...

Kawasaki et /. (1996) have used a supported membrane catalyst for extraction of erythromycin from its dilute, slightly alkaline aqueous solutions. 1-Decanol was used as an intermediate fluid membrane phase and a buffered acidic aqueous solution was used to strip the organic membrane.
