Description

trans-2-Decen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific ten-carbon chain and trans-configuration. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, prized for its defined structure which enables precise chemical transformations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for the production of esters, aroma chemicals, and other fine chemicals.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Ingredient: Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of green, waxy, and citrus-like aroma compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block for the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for surfactants, lubricant additives, and polymer modifiers due to its long alkyl chain and reactive hydroxyl group.
• Research and Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying reaction mechanisms and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the production of certain pesticides and plant growth regulators.
