Description

Delta 12 Cis Tridecenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) characterized by its specific cis configuration at the 12th carbon. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and reference standard for research and industrial synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for producing advanced intermediates, fragrances, and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, leveraging its fatty acid backbone for lipophilicity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for creating specialized surfactants, adjuvants, and pesticide formulations.
• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Acts as a precursor for musk-like odorants and other complex aroma chemicals.
• Chemical Research: Employed as a high-purity analytical reference standard for chromatography (GC, HPLC) and spectroscopy.
• Polymer Modification: Used to introduce unsaturated sites into polymers for cross-linking or to modify physical properties.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: A starting material for synthesizing bio-based or specialty ester lubricants.

Quality Control

Our Delta 12 Cis Tridecenoic Acid Methyl Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available for every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain optimal purity and stability.
