Description

(E)-3-Nonen-2-Ol CAS NO 38285-42-6 is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic alcohol characterized by its distinct nine-carbon chain and a double bond in the (E) configuration. This compound matters as a versatile chiral intermediate and a valuable building block for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry where its structure contributes to unique organoleptic profiles. It is needed by R&D chemists and production specialists in fine chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical development, and the creation of specialty aroma chemicals.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Serves as a key intermediate or character impact molecule in the synthesis of green, fatty, or melon-like aroma notes for perfumes and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized as a chiral building block in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive compounds.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile reagent for carbon-carbon bond formation, reduction reactions, and the preparation of more complex esters, ethers, and other derivatives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the production pathway for certain pesticides, herbicides, or plant growth regulators where its alkenol structure is integral.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial laboratories for studying stereoselective reactions, catalysis, and the properties of medium-chain unsaturated alcohols.
• Specialty Chemicals: A precursor for surfactants, lubricant additives, or polymer modifiers that benefit from its specific hydrocarbon chain length and functional group.

Quality Control

Our (E)-3-Nonen-2-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
