The container which is used in the production of methyl hexyl carbinol should not be filled more than half full of reaction mixture, since foaming occurs to a considerable extent during the heating. 

Methyl hexyl carbinol may be made in a pure state by the action of methyl magnesium iodide upon heptaldehyde,1 but it is more easily and cheaply obtained in a state of satisfactory purity for most purposes by the heating of castor oil with sodium hydroxide.2 This gives sodium ricinoleate which upon fusion with caustic soda yields methyl hexyl carbinol. Other methods of theoretical interest have also appeared the product may be prepared by the chlorination and subsequent hydrolysis of petroleum octane 3 by the distillation of certain rarer oils with sodium hydroxide.4...
