Description

(6E,10E,14E)-3,7,11,15,19-Pentamethyl-1,6,10,14,18-Icosapenten-3-Ol is a high-purity, long-chain isoprenoid alcohol with a defined stereochemistry. This compound is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active molecules, including vitamins and terpenoids, valued for its precise chemical structure. It is essential for research and development laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries seeking to develop or produce complex natural products and their analogs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block in the synthesis of fat-soluble vitamins (e.g., Vitamin E, Vitamin K) and coenzyme Q10 analogs.
• Nutraceutical Synthesis: Used in the production of high-value dietary supplements and antioxidants.
• Fine Chemical Research: Serves as a precursor in organic synthesis for creating novel terpenoids and isoprenoid derivatives with potential biological activity.
• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Acts as an intermediate for the synthesis of specific sesquiterpene and diterpene compounds used in premium fragrance formulations.
• Agrochemical Development: Investigated as an intermediate for novel plant growth regulators or pheromone synthesis due to its isoprenoid backbone.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier in the development of specialized polymers with unique properties derived from its long hydrocarbon chain.
