2-Ethyl Hexanol (2 EH)

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.

Most common application as a feedstock in the production of plasticizers and lubricants, where its presence helps reduce viscosity and lower freezing points.
