The by-product of this process, pelargonic acid [112-05-0] is also an item of commerce. The usual source of sebacic acid [111-20-6] for nylon-6,10 [9008-66-6] is also from a natural product, ticinoleic acid [141-22-0] (12-hydroxyoleic acid), isolated from castor oil [8001-79-4]. The acid reacts with excess sodium or potassium hydroxide at high temperatures (250—275°C) to produce sebacic acid and 2-octanol [123-96-6] (166) by cleavage at the 9,10-unsaturated position. The manufacture of dodecanedioic acid [693-23-2] for nylon-6,12 begins with the catalytic trimerization of butadiene to make cyclododecatriene [4904-61-4] followed by reduction to cyclododecane [294-62-2] (see Butadiene). The cyclododecane is oxidatively cleaved to dodecanedioic acid in a process similar to that used in adipic acid production. 

Trioctylamine has been prepared, in a continuous process, using 5,200 kg of -octanol, 100 kg of copper formate catalyst, 500 kg of -octylamine, 10 kg of calcium hydroxide, and 240 kg of ammonia (58). Ammonia was added over a 10-h period while 10 m of hydrogen/h was passed through the reactor at a reaction temperature of 180—200°C. The final product was composed of 94% trioctylamine, 2% dioctylamine, 1% octylamine, and 0.5% -octanol. A... 

Alcohols with a C8 - Cn chain length, characterized by low solubility in aqueous media, may have a particular commercial potential as perspective extractants for tantalum and niobium hydrometallurgical processing. Particular emphasis has been placed recently on the investigation of tantalum and niobium extraction using octanol (C8Hi80) in the forms of 1-octanol and 2-octanol [462,466-473].

The hydrogeh atom bound to the amide nitrogen in 15 is rather acidic and it can be easily removed as a proton in the presence of some competent base. Naturally, such an event would afford a delocalized anion, a nucleophilic species, which could attack the proximal epoxide at position 16 in an intramolecular fashion to give the desired azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanol framework. In the event, when a solution of 15 in benzene is treated with sodium hydride at 100 °C, the processes just outlined do in fact take place and intermediate 14 is obtained after hydrolytic cleavage of the trifluoroacetyl group with potassium hydroxide. The formation of azabi-cyclo[3.2.1]octanol 14 in an overall yield of 43% from enone 16 underscores the efficiency of Overman s route to this heavily functionalized bicycle. 

The most limiting factor for enzymatic PAC production is the inactivation of PDC by the toxic substrate benzaldehyde. The rate of PDC deactivation follows a first order dependency on benzaldehyde concentration and reaction time [8]. Various strategies have been developed to minimize PDC exposure to benzaldehyde including fed-batch operation, immobilization of PDC for continuous operation and more recently an enzymatic aqueous/octanol two-phase process [5,9,10] in which benzaldehyde is continuously fed from the octanol to the enzyme in the aqueous phase. The present study aims at optimal feeding of benzaldehyde in an aqueous batch system. 

Actually, why do we need log D models Why can t we use just log P models One of the main requirements for prediction of octanol-water coefficients is to optimize bioavailability of chemical compounds. During the absorption process the... 

A comprehensive study of the complex interfacial processes involved in the solvent extraction of cupric ion by oxime ligands represents one of the most detailed and successful studies carried out with the RDC [37,38]. Recently, the technique was also used to study the transfer of tetrabutylammonium cations [43] and the kinetics of partitioning of compounds between octanol and water [44]. In the latter study, Fisk and coworkers investigated the rates of partitioning of 23 compounds from octanol to an aqueous phase. The RDC arrangement used most frequently in this work is of the o/o/w type. So according to Eq. (15), and can be calculated from the gradient and intercept of... 

Absorption, in general, is treated as a physicochemical transport process based on computations of logP (the octanol/water partition coefficient) and solubility governed by factors such as polar surface area on the molecule. It is conceivable that SNPs in drug transporter genes will affect the pharmacokinetic properties of compounds and, therefore, these may have to be taken into consideration in the design process.
