Description

6-Hepten-3-ol is a versatile seven-carbon unsaturated alcohol with a terminal double bond, serving as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature makes it a critical building block for creating complex molecules, offering chemists a handle for both olefin metathesis and alcohol-based transformations. This compound is particularly relevant for R&D and production teams in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to develop new compounds or modify existing ones.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel aroma chemicals and flavoring agents, contributing to green, fruity, or floral notes.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a key chiral building block or precursor in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or co-monomer in specialty polymerizations, including the production of polyolefins with functional side chains.
• Agrochemical Research: Utilized in the synthesis of experimental pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A versatile starting material for various organic reactions, including Grignard additions, epoxidations, and hydrogenations.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: The terminal alkene group makes it suitable for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form more complex carbon skeletons.

Quality Control

Our 6-Hepten-3-ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters. Our commitment to supply chain reliability and batch-to-batch consistency ensures you receive a product that meets your precise technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation and volatility. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use and allowed to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture ingress.
