Description

Methyl 10-Undecenoate is a versatile long-chain fatty acid methyl ester derived from undecylenic acid. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and building block in the synthesis of high-value specialty chemicals, offering excellent reactivity due to its terminal double bond. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, polymer, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to produce flavors, plasticizers, lubricants, and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Synthesis: A key intermediate for creating musk-like aromas and fruity flavor esters.
• Polymer and Resin Production: Used as a monomer or co-monomer in the synthesis of specialty polyesters, polyamides, and other polymers.
• Lubricant and Plasticizer Additives: Acts as a precursor for bio-based lubricants and environmentally friendly plasticizers.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Surfactant and Detergent Manufacturing: Utilized to produce biodegradable surfactants and emulsifiers.
• Agrochemical Formulations: An intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and plant growth regulators.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Used in the manufacture of emollients and other personal care product components.
• Organic Synthesis Research: A valuable reagent for metathesis reactions and other organic transformations in R&D laboratories.
