Description

11-Hydroxy-10-Icosanone is a high-purity, long-chain hydroxy ketone of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. This compound serves as a versatile chiral building block and intermediate, enabling the production of complex molecules with precise stereochemistry. It is particularly valuable for research and development in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and high-performance lubricant additive sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, prostaglandins, and other complex natural product analogs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators requiring specific stereochemical configurations.
• Specialty Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing non-ionic surfactants with unique hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Serves as an intermediate for manufacturing high-performance additives that improve viscosity index and reduce friction.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Employed in the synthesis of macrocyclic musk compounds and other long-chain aroma chemicals.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or modifier for polymers and liquid crystals due to its long aliphatic chain and functional groups.
