It is mainly used in the production of plasticizers, extractants, stabilizers, and intermediates for solvents and fragrances. In the field of plasticizers, octanol is generally referred to as 2-ethyl ethanol, which is a million-ton bulk feedstock and is industrially far more valuable than N-octanol. Octanol itself is also used as a spice, blending rose, lily and other flower fragrance, as soap spices. The product is China’s GB2760-86 provisions for the allowed use of edible spices. Mainly used in the preparation of coconut, pineapple, peach, chocolate and citrus flavor.
