2-Octanol

2-Octanol (octan-2-ol, 2-OH) is an organic compound with the chemical formula . It is a colorless oily liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. 2-Octanol is classified fatty alcohol. A secondary alcohol, it is chiral.

Production 2-Octanol is produced commercially by base-cleavage of ricinoleic acid. The coproduct is a mixture of sebacic acid (). Castor oil, which consists mainly of triglycerides of ricinoleic acid, is the main feedstock.

Uses It is a precursor to 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, a version of superglue used as a wound closure adhesive. It is closely related to octyl cyanoacrylate. The use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate was approved in 1998; offered as an alternative to stitches, sutures, and or adhesive strips.
