Description

Sodium Dodecane-1-Thiolate is the sodium salt of 1-dodecanethiol, a key organosulfur compound used as a versatile intermediate and reagent. This product matters for its role in facilitating critical chemical transformations, particularly in polymer synthesis and organic synthesis, where it acts as a chain transfer agent or a nucleophile. Industries that need it include polymer manufacturing, specialty chemical synthesis, and pharmaceutical research, where precise control over molecular weight and functional group introduction is required.

Application

• Chain Transfer Agent (CTA) in Polymerization: Crucial for controlling molecular weight and polydispersity in the production of synthetic rubbers (e.g., SBR, NBR) and acrylic polymers.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a nucleophilic reagent for the introduction of the dodecylthio group into target molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
• Surface Modifier and Functionalization: Used to modify the surface properties of nanoparticles and materials to impart specific hydrophobicity or reactivity.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additive Precursor: A starting material in the synthesis of sulfur-containing additives that improve extreme pressure properties and anti-wear performance.
• Crosslinking Agent and Vulcanization Accelerator: Employed in rubber compounding formulations to influence cure characteristics and final product properties.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dodecane-1-Thiolate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity and performance, meeting the specifications required for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
