Description

3-Hepten-1-ol is a versatile seven-carbon unsaturated alcohol with a terminal hydroxyl group and a double bond, offering unique reactivity for organic synthesis. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and flavor & fragrance ingredient, prized for its ability to impart green, fatty, and waxy olfactory notes. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for the production of complex molecules and consumer products.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Industry: Used as a key building block or direct component in the synthesis of esters and other aroma chemicals, contributing green, fatty, or waxy nuances to fine fragrances, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral synthon or precursor in the multi-step synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate in the production of certain pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer & Material Science: Utilized in the creation of specialty monomers, cross-linking agents, or modifiers for polymers, leveraging the reactivity of both the alcohol and alkene functional groups.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D laboratories for studying hydrofunctionalization reactions, cross-coupling, and other catalytic transformations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Potential use as a precursor for synthesizing esters that function as biodegradable lubricants or fuel additives.

Quality Control

Our 3-Hepten-1-ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can support documentation for REACH and other global compliance standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize oxidation and moisture absorption.
