Description

trans-2-Decen-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by a ten-carbon chain with a trans-configured double bond at the 2-position and a terminal hydroxyl group. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, offering a defined chain length and reactivity. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for the production of esters, ethers, and other derivatives. Its consistent quality is essential for ensuring the reproducibility and performance of final products in these demanding applications.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing esters and other compounds that contribute green, waxy, or fatty olfactory notes to perfumes and flavor formulations.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Used as a chiral intermediate or a chain-length-defining unit in the production of liquid crystals, surfactants, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Polymer Additives: Can be incorporated into polymers as a modifier to alter surface properties or as a precursor for plasticizers and stabilizers.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying organic reaction mechanisms and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of certain pheromones or active ingredients for crop protection products.
