How differences in the molecular structure of monohydroxy alcohols affect the tendency to crystallization

The tendency to crystallize was studied in the selected monohydroxy alcohols: 1-chloro-2-methyl-2-propanol, 1-chloro-2-propanol, 3-chloro-1-propanol, and 8-chloro-1-octanol. Performed calorimetric measurements have proved that the differences in structures of tested alcohols influence the tendency t...

Description
Summary:The tendency to crystallize was studied in the selected monohydroxy alcohols: 1-chloro-2-methyl-2-propanol, 1-chloro-2-propanol, 3-chloro-1-propanol, and 8-chloro-1-octanol. Performed calorimetric measurements have proved that the differences in structures of tested alcohols influence the tendency to crystallization. At a sufficiently fast heating rate, no crystallization was observed in the case of 1-chloro-2-propanol and 3-chloro-1-propanol, contrary to other two alcohols. The obtained results suggest that elongation of the alkyl chain or adding a methyl group to the hydrocarbon backbone increases the susceptibility to crystallization. Graphical abstract
