Information profile @ a Glance
- A fatty acid is a long hydrocarbon chain capped by a carboxyl group
- Based on the chemical structure of the fatty acid chain, there are
two types of fatty acids present in the body; namely, saturated and
unsaturated fatty acids. Simple fats are mainly composed of glyceride
and fatty acids.
- The four types of fatty acids are polyunsaturated, monounsaturated,
saturated, and trans. Though most foods contain a mix, usually one type
of fatty acid predominates. For instance, olive oil contains 73 percent
monounsaturated fat; the rest is polyunsaturated and saturated fat.Oleyl
Alcohol is an unsaturated fatty alcohol.
- Oleyl alcohol is a derivative of unsaturated natural fatty acids. It
is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of esters of oleic acid.
- Oleyl alcohol can also be derived by Boweault-Blanc reduction
reaction of butyl oleate using sodium and butyl alcohol as raw
materials.
- Furthermore, oleyl alcohol occurs naturally in fish oil and oils of
other aquatic mammals.
- It is insoluble in water but miscible in other alcohols, ethers, and
chloroform.
Oleyl alcohol has broad range of industrial applications.
- It is used as cosmetic emollient, rheology modifier, defoaming
agent, plasticizer, automotive lubricant, and chemical intermediate.
Personal care, automotive, plastic, textile and leather, oil & gas, and
printing ink industries are the key end-users of oleyl alcohol.
- Oleyl alcohol can be produced by the hydrogenation of oleic acid
esters by Bouveault–Blanc reduction, which avoids reduction of the C=C
group (as would occur with usual catalytic hydrogenation). The required
oleate esters are obtained from beef fat, fish oil, and, in particular,
olive oil (from which it gains its name). The original procedure was
reported by Louis Bouveault and subsequently refined
