Abstract

2-Ethylhexanol is a versatile platform chemical with extensive applications in various fields. Currently, 2-ethylhexanol is exclusively produced from petroleum resources. However, the increased market demand for it and the depletion of fossil resources would entail the production of 2-ethylhexanol in a more sustainable way. Production of 2-ethylhexanol from renewable lignocellulosic biomass could be an alternative pathway. Here, we reviewed the applications of 2-ethylhexanol in different fields, with a focus on the renewable production of bio-based fuels, plasticizer, lubricant and surfactant from 2-ethylhexanol. Moreover, the possible pathways for renewable production of 2-ethylhexanol from lignocellulosic biomass are also discussed. Finally, future perspectives on renewable production of 2-ethylhexanol are also provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
