Description

Dodecylnicotinamide CAS NO 2254-99-1 is a specialized organic compound belonging to the nicotinamide derivative family. This chemical is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, combining a hydrophobic alkyl chain with a hydrophilic nicotinamide head group, which makes it a versatile intermediate and functional material. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for applications in synthesis, formulation, and material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting metabolic pathways.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a key component or surfactant in the development of advanced pesticides and herbicides.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a ligand or probe in enzymatic studies and biochemical assays due to its structural similarity to NAD+.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Functions as a non-ionic surfactant in specialty cleaning formulations and industrial emulsions.
• Material Science: Investigated for use in the creation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and advanced polymeric materials.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Potential use as a conditioning or stabilizing agent in high-end cosmetic and personal care products.
