Description General description 2-Heptanol is an aliphatic secondary alcohol. It can undergo selective oxidation to form the corresponding ketone in the presence of a novel Pd catalyst supported on amphiphilic carbon nanotubes. The distribution coefficient of 2-heptanol between micelles and water indicates that it is solubilized both at the surface and in the interior of the micelles. Application 2-Heptanol in combination with dimethyl sulfoxide form a porogenic mixture that may be used produce macroporous poly (acrylamide-co-N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide) monolithics via copolymerization. Packaging 25, 100 g in glass bottle
