Description

3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-6,10,14-Hexadecatrien-1-Yn-3-Ol is a high-purity, branched-chain isoprenoid alcohol with a conjugated enyne structure. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable versatile intermediate for the synthesis of complex natural products, fine chemicals, and advanced materials. It is primarily sought by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and specialty chemical manufacturers for applications in fragrance synthesis, vitamin analogs, and novel polymer precursors.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing sophisticated woody, amber, and musk notes in high-end perfumery and flavor compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a synthetic precursor in the development of terpenoid-based drug candidates, vitamin E analogs (tocopherols/tocotrienols), and other bioactive molecules.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Acts as a monomer or chain-transfer agent for creating polymers with specific optical, thermal, or mechanical properties due to its rigid, unsaturated backbone.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of certain plant growth regulators and pheromones, leveraging its isoprenoid skeleton.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: A valuable chiral pool reagent for constructing complex molecular frameworks in academic and industrial organic chemistry laboratories.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for use in liquid crystals, organic semiconductors, and other advanced functional materials.
