Description

(E)-2-Decene CAS NO 20063-97-2 is a high-purity, straight-chain α-olefin characterized by its specific trans-configuration. This compound serves as a versatile and critical intermediate in organic synthesis and industrial manufacturing processes. It is primarily utilized by R&D laboratories and chemical producers in the fragrance, flavor, polymer, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring a defined C10 alkene building block.

Application

• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing more complex molecules, including alcohols, epoxides, and other functionalized derivatives.
• Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Used in the production of aroma chemicals and synthetic flavors due to its olefinic structure.
• Polymer and Co-monomer Production: Acts as a co-monomer or modifier in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other polyolefins to adjust properties.
• Lubricant and Additive Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of synthetic lubricant base stocks and performance additives.
• Surfactant and Detergent Precursor: Used in the manufacture of surfactants via processes like hydroformylation (oxo synthesis).
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in catalytic studies, material science research, and method development.

Quality Control

Our (E)-2-Decene is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for our B2B partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
