Description

Ethyl 8-Nonenoate is a high-purity unsaturated ester with the CAS number 35194-39-9, valued for its unique olefinic functionality and fruity, waxy aroma profile. This compound serves as a versatile chemical intermediate and a key building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories seeking to create novel aroma chemicals, specialty polymers, and fine chemicals requiring a defined terminal alkene group.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a key intermediate or modifying agent in the synthesis of complex esters and lactones for creating fruity, waxy, or green olfactory notes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial building block in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-metathesis, hydroformylation, and polymerization reactions due to its terminal double bond.
• Specialty Polymers: Serves as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of specialty polyolefins and functional polymers with tailored properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemicals: Employed in the synthesis of certain pesticide and herbicide intermediates.
• Lubricant & Plasticizer Additives: Functions as a precursor for synthesizing ester-based additives that improve performance characteristics.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in organic chemistry and material science.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl 8-Nonenoate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its oxidizable nature, minimize headspace and avoid prolonged exposure to air. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
