Description

2-Methyl-1-Pentadecene is a high-purity, branched-chain α-olefin with the CAS number 29833-69-0. This specialty chemical serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, prized for its defined structure and reactivity. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the fragrance, polymer, and fine chemical industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their processes.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of musky and amber-like odorants for perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a comonomer or chain-transfer agent to introduce branching and modify the properties of polyolefins and other polymers.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: A key starting material for producing surfactants, lubricant additives, and other functionalized long-chain compounds via hydroformylation, epoxidation, or other addition reactions.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial labs for studying reaction mechanisms and developing new catalytic processes involving higher olefins.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a precursor for the production of quaternary ammonium compounds and other specialty surfactants.
