In this study, the wetting behavior of binary water + alc. mixtures was carefully investigated by using eight different short-chain alcs. These binary mixtures exhibit liquid-liquid equilibrium over the exptl. temperature range 10∼40 °C. The wetting behavior of the upper liquid (alc.-rich) phase at the surface of the lower liquid (aqueous) phase can be determined according to the wetting coefficient resulting from the interfacial tension measurements. Mol. structure of alcs. plays an essential role in the wetting behavior. The purpose of this study is threefold. (1) The effect of the hydrocarbon chain length of alcs. was examined by employing water + 1-butanol (C4E0), water + 1-pentanol (C5E0), and water + 1-hexanol (C6E0) three systems, where CiEj is the abbreviation of a nonionic polyoxyethylene alc. CiH2i+1(OCH2CH2)jOH. The shorter chain alc. has a stronger tendency to wet the surface of the aqueous phase. (2) The effect of number of oxyethylene groups of alcs. was investigated by using three mixtures, water + C6E0, water + C6E1, and water + C6E2. An interfacial phase transition from partial wetting to nonwetting was observed for water + C6Ej mixtures as the number of oxyethylene groups j increases from 1 to 2. (3) The effect of isomeric structures of alcs. on wetting behavior was investigated by studying three mixtures, water + 1-pentanol, water + 2-pentanol (2-C5E0), and water + tert-pentanol (t-C5E0). An interfacial phase transition from partial wetting to complete wetting occurs while the mol. structure of alcs. evolves from linear (C5E0) to near spherical (t-C5E0) shape. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-(2-(Hexyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol (cas: 112-59-4Synthetic Route of C10H22O3).
2-(2-(Hexyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol (cas: 112-59-4) belongs to ethers. Esters typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Synthetic Route of C10H22O3
