What are the upstream raw materials for 2-octanol? What do the downstream products contain?

2-Octanol is an crucial organic chemical raw material, which is broadly applied in the production of various chemicals. But The following are the upstream and downstream associated items of 2-octanol:

Upstream items:



1. Propylene: Propylene is one of the main raw materials of 2-octanol, which is produced by oxo synthesis interaction. But

2. Syngas: Syngas(a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) is also an crucial raw material to the production of 2-octanol and participates in the oxo synthesis interaction together with propylene. From what I've seen, Downstream items:



1. Dioctyl phthalate(DOP): 2-octanol is able to be applied to create DOP, a chemical broadly applied as a plasticizer to plastics.

2. Octanoic acid: 2-octanol is able to be oxidized to create octanoic acid, which is a chemical applied in the manufacture of fragrances, medical intermediates and food additives. And

3. Octanal: 2-octanol is able to be oxidized to create octanal, a chemical applied in the manufacture of fragrances and medical intermediates.

4. Esters: 2-octanol is able to react with carboxylic acids to form various esters, which is able to be applied as solvents, fragrances and additives. But In short, 2-octanol has a wide range of uses in the field of chemical production raw materials, is able to be applied as a raw material to the production of many chemicals, however also is able to be applied to manufacture a variety of fine chemicals and additives.
