Oleyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesColourless or light yellow liquid.
Chemical PropertiesOleyl alcohol occurs as a pale yellow oily liquid that gives off acridfumes when heated.
Chemical PropertiesColorless to light yellow liquid; fatty aroma with animal undertones.
UsesOleyl alcohol is used in softening and lubrication of textile fabrics, and in the production of carbon paper, stencil paper, and printing ink. It finds application in cosmetic products viz skin creams and lotions as a thickner, hair conditioners and hair coating shampoos. It is utilized as an antifoaming agent and cutting lubricant, as the precursor for the preparation of its sulfuric ester derivatives, which are used in detergents and wetting agents. It plays a vital role in various formulations for drug delivery.
Usesoleyl alcohol is an emollient, solvent, viscosity-increasing agent, and carrier employed in a wide variety of cosmetic formulations including makeup, skin care, and hand and body preparations. oleyl alcohol is an unsaturated fatty alcohol found in fish oils and can also be produced synthetically. According to some sources, it is comedogenic and has a mild irritancy potential.
UsesChiefly in the manufacture of its sulfuric esters which are detergents and wetting agents, as an antifoam agent; metal cutting lubricant; in carbon paper, stencil paper, printing ink; as a plasticizer; for softening and lubricating textile fabrics; carrier for medicaments.
DefinitionChEBI: A long chain fatty alcohol that is octadecanol containing a double bond located at position 9 (the Z-geoisomer).
Production MethodsOleyl alcohol occurs naturally in fish oils. Synthetically, it can beprepared from butyl oleate by a Bouveault–Blanc reduction withsodium and butyl alcohol. An alternative method of manufacture isby the hydrogenation of triolein in the presence of zinc chromite.
Brand nameWitcohol 85 (Witco); Witcohol 90 (Witco).
Aroma threshold valuesFatty-type, medium strength odor.
General DescriptionOleyl alcohol has been reported as an effective solvent for oil/water-type tacrolimus (FK506) cream formulation, useful for atopic dermatitis treatment. It was reported as diluting agent for Alamine 336. Palm oil esters derived from oleyl alcohol, have potential applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries due to the excellent wetting behavior of the esters without the oily feel.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNon flammable
Pharmaceutical ApplicationsOleyl alcohol is mainly used in topical pharmaceutical formulationsand has been used in transdermal delivery formulations.It hasbeen utilized in the development of biodegradable injectablethermoplastic oligomers,and in aerosol formulations of insulinand albuterol.
Therapeutically, it has been suggested that oleyl alcohol mayexhibit antitumor properties via transmembrane permeation.
Safety ProfileA human skin and eye irritant. Aningredient in cosmetics. When heated to decomposition itemits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
SafetyOleyl alcohol is mainly used in topical pharmaceutical formulationsand is generally regarded as a nontoxic and nonirritant material atthe levels employed as an excipient. However, contact dermatitisdue to oleyl alcohol has been reported.
The results of acute oral toxicity and percutaneous studies inanimals with products containing 8% oleyl alcohol indicate a verylow toxicity. Formulations containing 8% or 20% oleyl alcoholadministered by gastric intubation, at doses up to 10 g/kg bodyweight,caused no deaths and no toxic effects in rats.
storageThe bulk material should be stored in a well-closed container in acool, dry, place.
Purification MethodsPurify it by fractional crystallisation at -40o from acetone, then distil it under vacuum. [Beilstein 2 IV 2204.]
Regulatory StatusIncluded in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (topicalemulsions and ointments). Included in nonparenteral medicineslicensed in the UK. Included in the Canadian List of AcceptableNon-medicinal Ingredients.
