Description

trans-10-Dodecenol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol with a specific geometric isomerism. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and a key component in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly pheromones and flavor/fragrance ingredients. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, flavor & fragrance, and fine chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality building blocks for specialty applications.

Application

• Pheromone Synthesis: A critical precursor in the production of insect sex pheromones for environmentally friendly pest management in agriculture.
• Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Used as an intermediate for creating specific green, waxy, or citrus notes in perfumes and food flavorings.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a chiral building block for pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals due to its defined trans-configuration and terminal hydroxyl group.
• Lubricant and Surfactant Intermediates: Can be derivatized to produce specialized esters or ethoxylates for high-performance lubricants and surfactants.
• Research and Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D for studying insect behavior, organic reaction mechanisms, and material science.
