Description

7-Pentadecanol is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol with the CAS registry number 4104-59-0. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, valued for its defined carbon chain length and terminal hydroxyl functionality. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, surfactant, and pharmaceutical industries seeking consistent raw materials for product development and process optimization.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of musk analogs and other aroma chemicals due to its specific molecular structure.
• Surfactant and Detergent Manufacturing: Acts as a hydrophobic precursor for the production of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers.
• Lubricant and Plasticizer Additives: Employed as a raw material for creating synthetic esters that enhance lubrication and flexibility in polymers.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral intermediate or a lipophilic side chain in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Research & Development: A valuable reference standard and reagent in organic chemistry research for studying long-chain alcohol behavior.
• Personal Care Formulations: Utilized in the production of emollients and texture enhancers for creams and lotions.
