Description

Oleoyl Chloride CAS NO 112-77-6 is a versatile fatty acid chloride derived from oleic acid, serving as a key acylating and intermediate agent in organic synthesis. Its high reactivity makes it indispensable for introducing the oleoyl moiety into target molecules, enabling the production of specialized esters, amides, and surfactants. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, cosmetic, and polymer industries seeking to develop high-performance ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acylating agent in the synthesis of prodrugs, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and lipid-based drug delivery systems.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Key building block for manufacturing herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that require oleic acid-derived side chains.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Reactant for creating oleoyl-based esters and amides used in detergents, personal care products, and industrial emulsifiers.
• Polymer Modification: Used to modify polymers and resins to impart hydrophobic properties, flexibility, or specific functional groups.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Intermediate in the production of specialized esters that serve as synthetic lubricants and performance-enhancing fuel additives.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Synthesis of emollients, waxes, and other oleate derivatives for skincare and haircare formulations.
• Research & Development: Valuable reagent in organic chemistry labs for acyl chloride reactions and lipid chemistry studies.

Quality Control

Our Oleoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, acid value, and color. Our quality management system supports traceability and compliance for demanding industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and water. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent hydrolysis. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
