Description

Delta 10 Trans Heptadecenoic Acid is a high-purity, monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by its specific trans-configuration at the δ-10 position. This precise chemical structure makes it a valuable intermediate and reference standard for advanced organic synthesis and analytical research. It is essential for industries requiring high-grade fatty acid derivatives, including pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and advanced material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block for the synthesis of bioactive molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) in analytical laboratories for gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) to identify and quantify fatty acid profiles.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: A crucial precursor for manufacturing surfactants, lubricant additives, and other performance chemicals that benefit from its specific chain length and stereochemistry.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in lipidomics studies to investigate the role of specific trans-fatty acid isomers in metabolic pathways and membrane biology.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in the formulation of high-end skincare products, where specific fatty acids contribute to skin barrier function and emulsion stability.
