Description
2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) is a branched, eight-carbon chiral alcohol. This colorless liquid dissolves well in most organic solvents. With annual production exceeding 2 billion kilograms, 2-EH is used in solvents, flavors, fragrances, and as a precursor for emollients and plasticizers. Naturally found in plant fragrances, its scent ranges from heavy and earthy to light and sweet.
