Claims38
A biobased compound of Formula (I):
- wherein the compound of Formula (I) is 3-[(1-methylheptyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol having a purity of at least 99% by weight;
- and wherein 100% of the carbon present in the compound of Formula (I) is biobased as determined by ASTM D6866-18.
A composition comprising a biobased compound of Formula (I):
- wherein the compound of Formula (I) is 3-[(1-methylheptyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol having a purity of at least 99% by weight;
- and wherein 100% of the carbon present in the compound of Formula (I) is biobased as determined by ASTM D6866-18.
A process for preparing a biobased compound of Formula (I):
- wherein the compound of Formula (I) is 3-[(1-methylheptyl) oxy]-1,2-propanediol having a purity of at least 99% by weight;
- and wherein 100% of the carbon present in the compound of Formula (I) is biobased as determined by ASTM D6866-18, the process comprising contacting biobased 2-octanol with a biobased epichlorohydrin or glycidol in the presence of a catalyst followed by hydrolysis.
