Description

(E)-7-Dodecen-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific double bond geometry. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in the flavor & fragrance and specialty chemical industries. Key industrial users include manufacturers of insect pheromones, specialty esters, and high-value aroma chemicals who require consistent quality and reliable supply.

Application

• Insect Pheromone Synthesis: A critical precursor in the production of specific lepidopteran sex pheromones for agricultural pest management.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used as an intermediate for creating musk-like odorants, fruity esters, and other specialty aroma molecules.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral building block for pharmaceuticals, liquid crystals, and other fine chemicals due to its terminal hydroxyl group and defined alkene geometry.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additives: Serves as a raw material for synthesizing specialty surfactants and bio-based lubricant components with unique properties.
• Chemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying olefin metathesis, asymmetric synthesis, and other organic transformations.

Quality Control

Our (E)-7-Dodecen-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including GC, GC-MS, and NMR to verify identity, isomeric purity, and chemical composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket) to minimize potential oxidation.
