Description

2,4-Dimethyl-1-pentene is a branched-chain aliphatic olefin widely used as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. Its high reactivity and selective double-bond position make it particularly valuable for producing high-performance polymers, agrochemical intermediates, and fine chemical building blocks. Industrial customers—including polymer manufacturers, pharmaceutical R&D labs, and crop protection formulators—rely on consistent, high-purity batches to ensure reproducible reaction yields and regulatory compliance. This product is offered under strict quality controls to meet global industrial and research-grade requirements.

Application

• Synthesis of co-monomers for ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers (EPDM) to enhance elasticity and heat resistance
• Key intermediate in the production of branched C7 aldehydes via hydroformylation for plasticizer alcohol applications
• Building block for chiral ligands and asymmetric catalysts in pharmaceutical process chemistry
• Reagent in Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions for specialty fragrance and flavor compound development
• Starting material for synthesizing 2,4-dimethylpentanoic acid derivatives used in agrochemical active ingredients
• Functional monomer in radiation-curable coatings and adhesives requiring rapid crosslinking kinetics

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is verified for identity, assay, and impurity profile using validated analytical methods including GC-FID, GC-MS, and NMR. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, and all materials conform to ISO 9001-certified manufacturing practices. Specifications meet or exceed ACS Reagent Grade requirements for industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15–25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, avoid exposure to open flame, sparks, or strong oxidizing agents. Keep away from strong acid/organic solvent environments to prevent unintended reactions.
