Hexanals 2-ethylhexanal

Reaction of 2,4-diorgano-l,3-diols, such as 2-ethylhexane-l,3-diol, with TYZOR TPT in a 2 1 molar ratio gives the solvent soluble titanate complex, TYZOR OGT [5575-43-9] (4) (73). If the reaction is conducted in an inert solvent, such as hexane, and the resultant slurry is treated with an excess of water, an oligomeric hydrolysis product, also solvent-soluble, is obtained (74). 

The oxidation of 2-ethylhexan-l-ol to 2-ethyl-hexanal by the Oppenauer oxidation with aliphatic aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and isobutyr-aldehyde has been investigated with gas-phase reactants and MgO as the catalyst (196). Reaction with propionaldehyde was found to be an effective synthetic route for 2-ethylhexanal preparation, whereas with acetaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde a gradual catalyst deactivation in a flow reactor was observed. 

The name for this formula is 3-ethylhexane. The longest chain is the horizontal line of six carbon atoms (the hexane), and a two-carbon group (the ethyl) is attached at the third carbon of the main chain. 

Reduction of Aldehydes and Hydroperoxides. Stock solutions of approximately 100-200 ppm of 2-ethylhexanal in 95% ethanol, hexane, ana 2-ethylhexanol were prepared. Accurate carbonyl assays were conducted (ASTM method E411-70, "Trace Quantities of Carbonyl Compounds with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine ) initial carbonyl levels were... 

Aldehyde Reduction. The results of 2-ethylhexanal reduction in 95% ethanol, 2-ethylhexanol, and hexane with the various types of polymer-bound borohydrides, sodium borohydride, and tetraethylammonium borohydride are shown in Table I.
