Description

(Z)-9-Hexadecenoic Acid (Z)-9-Hexadecenyl Ester is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid ester with a specific cis-configuration. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex lipids, pheromones, and other fine organic chemicals. It is essential for research and development laboratories, flavor and fragrance manufacturers, and producers of specialized agrochemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Industry: Serves as a valuable intermediate for synthesizing aroma compounds and musk-like odorants.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of insect pheromones for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of lipid-based drug molecules and prodrugs.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A crucial reagent for academic and industrial R&D in lipid chemistry, polymer science, and material science.
• Specialty Surfactants and Lubricants: Employed in the formulation of high-performance, biodegradable lubricants and emulsifiers.
