Description

trans-2-Dodecen-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific cis-trans isomerism. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, prized for its ability to introduce specific olefinic and hydroxyl functionalities into target molecules. It is primarily utilized by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical sectors for the synthesis of complex esters, pheromones, and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Ingredient Synthesis: A key intermediate for creating specific aliphatic esters and lactones that contribute to fruity, waxy, or creamy notes in perfumes and food flavorings.
• Pheromone and Bioactive Molecule Production: Used in the research and synthesis of insect pheromones and other biologically active compounds due to its specific carbon chain length and double bond geometry.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Serves as a versatile chiral synthon for constructing more complex molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
• Specialty Surfactants and Lubricant Additives: Acts as a precursor for the production of niche surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricant components with tailored properties.
• Polymer Modification: Can be used to introduce functional side chains into polymers, modifying their physical characteristics such as flexibility or hydrophobicity.
• Research & Development: A standard reagent in academic and industrial R&D for studying organic reaction mechanisms and developing new synthetic methodologies.
