General Description
2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated 2-EH) is a branched eight-carbon chiral alcohol. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. It is produced on a massive scale for use in numerous applications such as solvents flavors and fragrances and especially as a precursor for production of other chemicals such as emollients and plasticizers.
