Description

6,10-Dimethylundeca-1,5,9-Triene is a branched-chain acyclic terpene hydrocarbon, also known as Farnesene. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and a key component in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries seeking to create naturalistic scent profiles or advanced polymeric materials.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing sesquiterpenoids, contributing to green, woody, and floral notes in perfumes and flavor compositions.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial intermediate in the production of vitamins (e.g., Vitamin E, K), pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals.
• Polymer and Resin Manufacturing: Used in the creation of specialty polymers, tackifiers, and resins, where its hydrocarbon structure influences flexibility and adhesion properties.
• Biofuel and Lubricant Research: Investigated as a potential precursor for advanced biofuels and high-performance, biodegradable lubricants due to its hydrocarbon chain.
• Pheromone and Semiochemical Production: Utilized in the synthesis of insect pheromones for agricultural pest management strategies.

Quality Control

Our 6,10-Dimethylundeca-1,5,9-Triene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer distribution, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air and elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
