Usage

General Description

Butyl Epoxystearate is a type of chemical compound typically used in various industrial applications, notably as a plasticizer in different plastic materials. It's a low toxicity chemical and has found use in a variety of products, including as an additive for coatings, inks, and sealants. It has a characteristic fatty odor and a molecular formula of C22H42O4. However, like many industrial chemicals, it should be handled with care as it can cause skin irritation or more serious health issues with chronic exposure.

Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic (dehydrogenative) oxidation of oleochemical 1,2-diols to α-hydroxyketones

Herein, the preparation of methyl oleate α-hydroxyketone from the corresponding 1,2-diol was investigated using both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. Homogeneous conditions using a Pd(OAc)2/neocuproine complex were first developed using oxygen as a sole oxidant under mild conditions (MeOH, 50 °C). Under these conditions, the conversion of diol reached 95%, and α-hydroxyketone was obtained with 97% selectivity. The access to α-hydroxyketone has also been studied by dehydrogenation using a range of heterogeneous catalysts under solvent-free conditions at high temperatures (160-180 °C). Dehydrogenation using activated Ru/C under vacuum provided α-hydroxyketone with 93% conversion and 82% GC yield. The optimized conditions were applied to a range of oleochemical diols, including a vegetable oil derivative, to obtain the corresponding α-hydroxyketones with up to 74% isolated yields.
