WHAT IS A FATTY ALCOHOL?
We all know something about alcohol.
The human race has waxed lyrical about various concoctions containing alcohol that have livened up many a party.
Whisky (from the Gaelic Uisqe Beagh meaning water of life), contains about 40% alcohol as ethanol (ethyl alcohol).
Alcohols occur as straight carbon chains with one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached and, in exactly the same way as was outlined previously, there is a series of alcohol homologues distinguished by increasing carbon chain length.
Some examples which might be familiar are the aforementioned Ethanol, which has a 2-carbon chain; Octanol, where the carbon chain is eight carbons in length; Lauryl alcohol (dodecanol) with 12 carbons; Cetyl alcohol (hexadecanol) with 16 carbons and Stearyl alcohol (octadecanol) with 18.
The lower chainlengths (C2-C10) are liquid at room temperature, whereas above C10 they vary from low melting colourless crystalline materials to white waxy solids (C16-C18), melting around 55°C.
Those of you who take the time to read product labels in supermarkets cannot have failed to have encountered these materials in detergents, shampoos or cosmetics.
We will now focus a little more on the straight-chain alcohols generally produced from oils and fats.
It is important to remember though that other types of alcohol exist.
Production from petrochemicals gives rise to branched chain alcohols as well as straight chain species and it is also possible to have alcohols with more than one -OH, called polyhydric alcohols, much used in the manufacture of resins.
A very important member of the last class is 1, 2, 3-propanetriol (or glycerine to most of us).
This is such an important material in the oleochemicals industry that we will include a few words on its manufacture and uses later on.
With the -OH at the end of the carbon chain, we get what is known as a primary alcohol and all of the materials we shall discuss fall into this category.
With branched chain materials, the -OH can be surrounded by two or even three carbon chains, giving rise to secondary and tertiary alcohols respectively.

HOW DO WE GET ALCOHOLS FROM OILS AND FATS?
There are a number of ways that fatty alcohols can be obtained from fats and oils.
Most involve reaction with hydrogen at high temperature and pressure and so require specialist plant to conduct the reactions safely.
There are two main ways of working with fats and oils directly.
Probably the oldest process is sodium reduction where metallic sodium is slurried in a solvent such as xylene and the triglyceride oil, a reducing alcohol (such as cyclohexanol) and more solvent are added to the reactor.
The reaction occurs at about one atmosphere pressure and, in a second stage, the reaction mixture is dropped into water to hydrolyse the sodium alkoxides formed.
The solvent and reducing alcohols are recovered by distillation for re-use and the by-product alcohol is generally fractionated to give the appropriate chainlength ranges commensurate with planned usage.
This process has the advantage of retaining the unsaturation of the parent oil and gives very pure product.
The disadvantages are high operating costs (due to the consumption of metallic sodium) and the elaborate equipment needed to recover both the solvent and the reducing alcohol.

OLEOCHEMICALS – FATTY ALCOHOLS
Oils and fats can be converted directly to alcohols by hydrogenolysis in which process the triglycerides are hydrogenated at high temperature and pressure in the presence of specific catalysts.
A mixture of fatty alcohols and glycerine results and, again, there is a significant amount of equipment and effort needed to separate these products before the alcohol is obtained and fractionated.
In a variation of the above process, called methanolysis, the triglycerides are reacted with methanol in the presence of a base catalyst.
Fatty acid methyl esters and glycerine are formed and, after removing the glycerine, the esters are hydrogenated to make the alcohols which are fractionated as before.
As methyl esters themselves have grown in importance, it is now possible to purchase these as the intended feedstock for hydrogenation and short-cut the process above with the advantage of not having to separate and deal with the glycerine.
Similarly, triglyceride oils can be hydrolysed to fatty acids and the acids catalytically hydrogenated to alcohols and variation of catalysts and conditions can permit the retention of any unsaturation, if desired. 2

USES OF FATTY ALCOHOLS
Almost uniquely for oleochemicals, alcohols are sometimes less known by their common or chemical name, but more by their use.
Thus, we often see the light-cut alcohols (C6-C10) called plasticizer range alcohols and C12- C18 known as detergent range alcohols.
That gives us a clue to two of the major uses, but there are many more. Detergent uses in one form or other consume the largest proportion of alcohol produced.
This usage depends on the ability of the alcohol to add fat-loving or lipophilic character to the detergent molecule.
Alcohols are successful here and also provide, via the hydroxyl group, a reactive site which can add water-loving (hydrophilic) character of varying intensity depending on which chemical groupings get reacted into the molecule.
This hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (or HLB) is key in identifying which detergents are good for removing fatty soiling and which remove non-fatty material.
The HLB is generally modified through sulphation (reaction with sulphur trioxide in some form) to produce an alcohol sulphate, or through ethoxylation (reaction with ethylene oxide) to produce ethoxylates which can then be sulphated and used as is.
These sulphates and ethoxylates are the active cleansing ingredients in laundry detergents, shampoos and shower gels.
In cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, we find alcohols being used as is because of their own specific properties, usually as emollients.
For example, Cetyl (C16) alcohol is important in cleansing, shaving and vanishing creams, hair lotions, and lipsticks.
Cetyl and Stearyl (C18) alcohol bring similar properties to antihistamine creams, bath preparations and dermatologic bases.
Beyond this, fatty alcohols provide the starting point for chemicals used as defoamers, emulsion stabilisers, evaporation control agents, metal working lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, fire retardants, inks and perfumes – a wide-ranging (but still not exhaustive) list indeed.

Fatty alcohols are artificially prepared with chemical compounds derived from plant and animal fats.
Fatty alcohols are oily liquids named as oleochemicals as they produce from natural oil and fats like vegetable oils and waxes.
Fatty alcohol is likewise derived from petrochemicals by synthetically processing ethylene. Lauryl myristyl alcohol is originated from South Africa.
Lauryl myristyl alcohol is a type of fatty alcohol which is a form of the combination of C12 and C14 that is lauryl and myristyl.
Lauryl myristyl alcohol is also known as DodecanolTetradecanol. The chemical formula of lauryl myristyl alcohol is C26H54O, and the molecular weight is 186.3368.
Lauryl myristyl alcohol is colorless liquid and has a mild odor and decomposes when subjected to excessive heat.
The life span of Lauryl myristyl alcohol is one year from its date of manufacturing.
The Lauryl myristyl alcohol has extensive uses in several industries including food, cosmetic, automotive, textile, and chemical industries.
Moreover, Lauryl Alcohol is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of surfactants.

MYRISTYL ALCOHOL (C14)
Myristyl alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol that is tetradecane in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group

1-Tetradecanol, or commonly myristyl alcohol (from Myristica fragrans – the nutmeg plant), is a straight-chain saturated fatty alcohol, with the molecular formula C14H30O.
It is a white crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water, soluble in diethyl ether, and slightly soluble in ethanol.

1-Tetradecanol may be prepared by the hydrogenation of myristic acid (or its esters); myristic acid itself can be found in nutmeg (from where it gains its name) but is also present in palm kernel oil and coconut oil and it is from these that the majority of 1-tetradecanol is produced.
It may also be produced from petrochemical feedstocks via either the Ziegler process or hydroformylation.

As with other fatty alcohols, 1-tetradecanol is used as an ingredient in cosmetics such as cold creams for its emollient properties.
It is also used as an intermediate in the chemical synthesis of other products such as surfactants.

Myristyl Alcohol helps to stabilize the product formulation while softening the upper layer of the skin.

General Description
Colorless thick liquid (heated) with a faint alcohol odor. Solidifies and floats on water.

Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile
1-Tetradecanol is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

Health Hazard
Low toxicity. Overexposure causes some central nervous system depression. Prolonged skin contact causes skin irritation.

Pharmaceutical Applications
Myristyl alcohol is used in oral, parenteral, and topical pharmaceutical formulations. It has been evaluated as a penetration enhancer in melatonin transdermal patches in rats.
Myristyl alcohol has also been tested as a bilayer stabilizer in niosome formulations containing ketorolac tromethamine,and zidovudine.Niosomes containing myristyl alcohol showed a considerably slower release rate of ketorolac tromethamine than those containing cholesterol.This was also observed with the zidovudine formulation.

Safety
Myristyl alcohol is used in oral parenteral, and topical pharmaceutical formulations. The pure form of myristyl alcohol is mildly toxic by ingestion and may be carcinogenic; experimental tumorigenic data are available.It is also a human skin irritant. In animal studies of the skin permeation enhancement effect of saturated fatty alcohols, myristyl alcohol exhibited a lower effect when compared with decanol, undecanol, or lauryl alcohol but caused greater skin irritation.A study investigating contact sensitization to myristyl alcohol revealed that patch testing of myristyl alcohol 10% petrolatum should not be carried out owing to observed irritant effects; thus the use of a lower concentration of myristyl alcohol for such tests (5% petrolatum) was recommended.Myristyl alcohol has been associated with some reports of contact allergy.(8,9)A moderate-to-severe erythema and moderate edema are seen when 75 mg is applied to human skin intermittently in three doses over 72 hours.
LD50(rabbit, skin): 7.1 g/kg
LD50(rat, oral): 33.0 g/kg
