Description

Aldehyde C-20 is a high-purity, long-chain aliphatic aldehyde, also known as Arachidic Aldehyde. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, valued for its defined carbon chain length and reactive aldehyde functional group. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent raw materials for the production of alcohols, acids, and other derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of musk compounds and other aroma chemicals, contributing to long-lasting scent profiles.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a building block for synthesizing specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Production: Acts as a precursor in the manufacture of specialized lubricant additives and high-molecular-weight surfactants.
• Polymer Chemistry: Utilized in the production of polymers and resins, where it can act as a modifier or cross-linking agent.
• Research & Development: Employed in organic synthesis research for creating novel compounds and studying reaction mechanisms.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Functions as an intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and plant growth regulators.
