Description

2-Tridecenoic Acid, (Z)- is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a 13-carbon chain with a cis-configured double bond. This specific isomer is valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and a building block in organic synthesis. It is particularly relevant for researchers and manufacturers in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty materials sectors seeking to introduce specific lipophilic or reactive functionalities into target molecules.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate for the production of more complex organic compounds, including fragrances, flavors, and bioactive molecules.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in the development and synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly those targeting lipid metabolism or requiring specific fatty acid chains.
• Material Science: Acts as a precursor or monomer in the creation of specialized polymers, coatings, and surfactants with tailored properties.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed as a standard or reagent in lipidomics research and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Utilized in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and flavoring agents due to its fatty acid structure.
• Agrochemicals: Can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain pesticides or plant growth regulators.
