Description

n-Hendecane is a high-purity, straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon with eleven carbon atoms, serving as a fundamental building block and solvent in advanced chemical synthesis. Its consistent linear structure and high volatility make it a valuable and predictable component for creating precise chemical environments and reactions. This compound is essential for industries requiring a pure, non-polar medium, including specialty chemical manufacturing, fragrance and flavor development, and advanced materials research.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis & Intermediate: Acts as a key starting material or solvent in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds, surfactants, and polymers.
• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a solvent or a minor component in the formulation of high-end perfumes, essential oil blends, and flavor concentrates.
• Chromatography & Analytical Standards: Serves as a high-purity reference standard in Gas Chromatography (GC) for calibration, identification, and quantitative analysis.
• Specialty Solvent & Extraction Agent: Employed in laboratory and industrial processes where a non-polar, highly volatile solvent is required for extraction or purification.
• Fuel & Lubricant Research: Used as a model compound in combustion studies, fuel additive research, and the development of synthetic lubricants due to its defined alkane structure.
• Material Science: Functions as a processing aid or a minor component in the research and development of specialty coatings, adhesives, and polymeric materials.
