Description

13-Pentacosanone is a high-purity, long-chain aliphatic ketone, specifically a 25-carbon ketone where the carbonyl group is at the 13th position. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate in organic synthesis and as a standard reference material in analytical chemistry. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, fine chemical manufacturers, and companies developing specialty materials, where precise molecular structure and high purity are critical for experimental reproducibility and product performance.

Application

• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block for synthesizing more complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and liquid crystals.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in Gas Chromatography (GC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) for method development, calibration, and quality control in analytical laboratories.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for its properties in the development of novel surfactants, lubricant additives, and phase-change materials due to its long hydrocarbon chain.
• Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Potential use as a precursor or a component in the synthesis of specific musk-like or waxy odorants, given its structural similarity to other macrocyclic ketones.
• Biochemical Studies: Can be used as a model compound in studies of lipid metabolism, membrane biochemistry, and insect pheromone research.
