Methyl Hexyl Carbinol Capryl Alcohol

CH3(CH2)5CHOHCH = CH(CH2)8C02Na+Na0H+H20 - CH3 (CH2) 5CHOHCH3+Na02C (CH2) 8C02Na+H2. 

For the most satisfactory preparation of methyl hexyl car-binol from castor oil, a copper vessel should be used. Since such a vessel is often not available in the average laboratory, directions are also included using an ordinary can, although in such cases the yields are much lower. 

If the above reaction is not completed at one time and intermediate cooling is allowed, the reaction mixture sets to a solid mass and certain precautions must be taken before proceeding farther. Either before heating is renewed, the mass must be 

This product is satisfactory for most purposes. If, however, a very pure product is desired, this may be made by shaking carefully the alcohol with 15 per cent sodium bisulfite solution, 

The distillation is continued until no more alcohol comes over, a process which requires forty-eight to seventy-two hours of continuous heating. Superheating must be avoided, since foaming will then occur and may cause considerable difficulty. It is therefore advisable to adjust the heating so that the distillate comes over in rapid drops but not in a stream. If cooling
