Description

2-Methyl-1-Dodecene is a high-purity, branched-chain α-olefin with the CAS number 16435-49-7. This specialty chemical serves as a crucial intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis and polymer modification. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, lubricant additive, and specialty polymer industries for its unique structural properties.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of musk-like odorants and other complex aroma chemicals due to its long alkyl chain and branching.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: Acts as a key raw material for manufacturing polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and other synthetic base stocks, contributing to improved viscosity index and low-temperature performance.
• Specialty Polymer Comonomer: Employed in copolymerization to introduce long-chain branching, modifying the physical properties of polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in hydroformylation, metathesis, and alkylation reactions to produce surfactants, plasticizers, and other fine chemicals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in academic and industrial R&D for studying olefin chemistry and catalysis.
