Application

  • Development of new aliphatic biocompatible polymers from PEG 400 for their applications: This research explored the synthesis of biocompatible polymers using 1,10-decanediol and other diols with PEG 400 by melt polycondensation, highlighting the catalytic role of TiIV isopropoxide (B Yamini, R Nanthini, 2019).
  • Role of L-alanine for redox self-sufficient amination of alcohols: This study examined the amination of 1,10-decanediol among other alcohols in E. coli, demonstrating insights into metabolic pathways for biosynthesis (S Klatte, VF Wendisch, 2015).
  • The role of transesterifications in reversible polycondensations and a reinvestigation of the Jacobson–Beckmann–Stockmayer experiments: The study revisits polycondensation reactions involving 1,10-decanediol, providing a detailed analysis of the mechanisms and catalytic effects of toluene sulfonic acid (HR Kricheldorf, SM Weidner, J Falkenhagen, 2022).
  • N-Alkylisoquinolinium bromides and α, ψ-alkanediols: Eutectic systems with co-crystal formation: This study explores the eutectic formations between 1,10-decanediol and various alkylisoquinolinium bromides, discussing the properties and applications of the resulting co-crystals (M Więckowski, P Guńka, N Świtalska, 2024).
