Abstract:
A process for preparing linear or branched primary alcohols with 3 to 13 carbon atoms from linear or branched alkanes with 3 to 13 carbon atoms by incubating a host organism having a functional P153 enzyme under elevated pressure in the presence of oxygen.
Abstract:
A method for preparing an aromatic di-ester includes combining an aromatic di-acid and a linear or branched C4-C13 alcohol to form a mixture. The method also includes heating the mixture from a first temperature (T1) to a second temperature (T2) without a catalyst present in the mixture. The method further includes combining a titanium catalyst with the mixture after the mixture is at the second temperature (T2). The method further includes increasing pressure from a first pressure (P1) to a second pressure (P2) after the mixture is at the second temperature (T2). The method further includes increasing the temperature of the mixture from the second temperature (T2) to a third temperature (T3) while maintaining the second pressure (P2).
Abstract:
A plasticizer composition is disclosed that includes di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate, and which is substantially free of a di-ester according to Formula I: where R1 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 13 carbon atoms, and where R1 is different than 2-ethylhexane. The plasticizer composition may be used in a plastisol composition, a powder coating composition, a molding composition, and various other compositions. A method of preparing an aromatic di-ester is also disclosed. The method may prepare the plasticizer composition.
Abstract:
A method for reducing the friction coefficient of a lubricating oil composition in the lubrication of a mechanical device comprises formulating said lubricating oil composition with a carboxylic acid ester obtainable by reacting a mixture comprising at least on dicarboxylic acid and at least one branched C10 alcohol.
