Description

1-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,2-Ethanediyl Bis[(9Z,12Z,15Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoate] is a specialized ester derivative of α-linolenic acid, a key ω-3 fatty acid. This compound is valued for its unique bifunctional structure, which combines a hydrophilic hydroxymethyl group with lipophilic polyunsaturated fatty acid chains, making it an effective and versatile intermediate. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and advanced polymer industries for formulating bioactive ingredients, emollients, and specialty monomers.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of structured lipids and prodrugs designed for enhanced bioavailability of ω-3 fatty acids.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Actives: Serves as a high-performance emollient and skin-conditioning agent in anti-aging creams, serums, and moisturizers.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a reactive diluent or cross-linking agent in the production of bio-based, flexible polymers and coatings.
• Lipid Research & Biochemicals: Employed as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research.
• Functional Food Additives: Potential use in the fortification of foods and beverages with stabilized ω-3 derivatives.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulations: Imparts lubricity and oxidative stability in specialized, environmentally considerate lubricant blends.
