Description

4-Pentadecanol is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol with the CAS number 109212-91-1. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, offering consistent quality and reliable performance. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the fragrance, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and advanced materials sectors seeking a specific C15 alcohol for their formulations.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used as a precursor or a modifier in the synthesis of musky or waxy odorants and flavoring agents.
• Cosmetic and Personal Care: Acts as an emollient, thickener, or raw material for producing esters in creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key chiral building block or a lipophilic side chain in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Lubricants and Surfactants: Employed in the production of synthetic lubricant bases and non-ionic surfactants due to its hydrophobic chain length.
• Polymer and Material Science: Utilized as a monomer or plasticizer additive to modify the properties of polymers and specialty plastics.
• Research & Development: A valuable standard and reagent in organic chemistry research for studying long-chain alcohol behavior and reactions.
