Description

14-Pentadecenoic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a fifteen-carbon chain with a double bond at the ω-5 position. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis and fine chemical production. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking specific fatty acid derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of musk analogs and other specialty aroma chemicals.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Acts as a precursor for emollients, surfactants, and other personal care actives.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the development of bioactive molecules and lipid-based drug formulations.
• Organic Synthesis: Employed as a versatile chiral building block for constructing complex natural products and specialty polymers.
• Lubricant Additives: Potential use in the formulation of synthetic esters for high-performance lubricants.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies of fatty acid metabolism and as a standard in analytical chromatography.
