Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Oxygen | HCID 977 | — |
| Reactant | Potassium Hydroxide | HCID 14797 | — |
| Reactant | 2-Ethylhexanal | HCID 31241 | — |
| Reactant | Potassium 2-ethylhexanoate | HCID 23669619 | — |
| Product | 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid | HCID 8697 | 96% |
Reaction Steps
12.82kg/h of 2-ethylhexanal and 1.79kg/h of oxygen (molar ratio 1:0.56) were caused to react in the presence of 1.9wt% of potassium 2-ethylhexanoate (prepared by the addition of KOH to the initial reaction mixture) at 40° C. and a pressure of 3 bar. 96 % of 2-ethylhexanoic acid having a color value of 4 were isolated by distillation (determined as specified in ISO 6271 ). The bottoms were recycled to the oxidation stage.
