Description

trans-4-Decen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by a ten-carbon chain with a trans-configured double bond at the 4-position and a terminal hydroxyl group. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable chiral intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries for its utility in creating complex aroma chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key precursor for synthesizing high-value aroma chemicals, contributing to fruity, waxy, or green olfactory notes in fine perfumery and flavor compositions.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral building block in the production of specialized active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of liquid crystals, surfactants, and other performance chemicals where the specific carbon chain length and unsaturation are critical.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the research and development of novel pesticides and plant growth regulators.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D labs for organic synthesis and methodological studies.
