Description

2-Methyl-4-Nonanol is a branched-chain fatty alcohol with the CAS number 26533-31-3. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and a key building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, valued for its specific carbon chain length and structure. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries for creating complex esters and other derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used as a precursor in the synthesis of esters that contribute fruity, waxy, or floral notes to perfumes and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a chiral building block or a side chain in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Lubricant Additives: Employed in the production of synthetic esters that serve as base stocks or performance additives for high-end lubricants.
• Plasticizer Synthesis: Utilized as an alcohol component to create specialized plasticizers for polymers requiring specific properties.
• Surfactants and Emulsifiers: Functions as a hydrophobic tail in the production of non-ionic surfactants for industrial and cosmetic applications.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in organic synthesis and material science research.
