Description

5,8,11-Heptadecatrien-1-ol is a long-chain unsaturated fatty alcohol with a unique triene structure. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries. Its specific conjugated polyene system makes it a sought-after precursor for researchers and manufacturers developing bioactive compounds, specialty polymers, and high-value aroma chemicals.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing complex aroma molecules and pheromones due to its long hydrocarbon chain and unsaturation.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a synthetic precursor in the development of bioactive lipids, prostaglandin analogs, and other therapeutic agents.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Acts as a monomer or co-monomer for creating polymers with specific flexibility, hydrophobicity, or reactivity.
• Organic Synthesis & Chemical Research: A versatile intermediate for organic transformations, including hydrogenation, epoxidation, and cyclization reactions.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Additive: The fatty alcohol structure can be modified to produce specialty esters used in high-performance lubricants and surfactants.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of certain plant growth regulators or pesticide components.

Quality Control

Our 5,8,11-Heptadecatrien-1-ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and use promptly.
