Description

1-Dodecanol, 2-Hexyl- is a branched-chain fatty alcohol with the CAS number 110225-00-8. This specialized chemical intermediate is valued for its unique structure, which imparts properties distinct from its linear counterparts, such as lower melting points and enhanced solubility in organic matrices. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the fragrance, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop high-performance formulations.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Acts as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of specialty esters and aroma chemicals, contributing to complex scent profiles.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as an emollient, viscosity regulator, and carrier in creams, lotions, and other formulations.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Serves as a precursor for synthetic lubricant esters and performance additives that require specific branching for low-temperature fluidity.
• Plasticizer Synthesis: Employed in the production of specialized plasticizers for polymers where linearity is not optimal.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Provides a hydrophobic backbone for the synthesis of non-ionic and anionic surfactants with tailored properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a versatile building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
