Description

3-Phenylundecane is a high-purity, branched-chain alkylbenzene compound with the CAS registry number 4536-87-2. This specialty hydrocarbon is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and a high-performance solvent in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as by R&D laboratories and chemical producers developing specialty lubricants, plasticizers, and functional fluids.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block or fixative in the synthesis of complex aromatic compounds for perfumes and flavorings.
• Specialty Solvent: Used as a high-boiling, non-polar solvent for resins, polymers, and in specialized chemical reactions requiring inert media.
• Lubricant and Functional Fluid Additive: Acts as a base stock or performance additive in the formulation of synthetic lubricants and heat-transfer fluids.
• Plasticizer and Softening Agent: Employed in polymer processing to modify flexibility and workability of specific plastic compounds.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and other reactions to introduce a lipophilic phenylalkyl group.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and material science research.
