Description

11-Icosenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity monounsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from natural sources. This compound serves as a versatile chemical intermediate and reference standard for research and industrial synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical sectors requiring precise lipid components.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of bioactive lipid molecules and prodrugs.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a critical analytical standard for gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) in lipidomics and quality control labs.
• Nutraceutical Research: A key building block for studying the metabolic effects of odd-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or derivatization agent for producing surfactants, lubricants, and polymer precursors.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in membrane lipid studies and as a substrate for enzymatic activity assays.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Employed in the production of emollients and skin-conditioning agents.
