Description

(Z)-2-Decenoic Acid is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid derivative characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the double bond. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and building block for synthesizing more complex molecules in fine chemical and pharmaceutical production. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, agrochemical, and life science research sectors seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Industry: Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and perfumery ingredients, contributing to fruity or waxy notes.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for manufacturing certain pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Utilized in academic and industrial laboratories for studying organic reactions, particularly those involving unsaturated carboxylic acids.
• Lubricant & Polymer Additives: Can be modified to produce specialty esters used as additives or monomers.
• Biochemical Research: Investigated for its role in biological pathways and as a potential standard in analytical chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-2-Decenoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider keeping under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
