Description

11-Nitro-1-Undecene is a valuable nitro-olefin intermediate characterized by its terminal alkene and nitro functional groups. This compound matters for its versatility as a key building block in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of nitrogen-containing moieties into longer carbon chains. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications such as the synthesis of amino acids, surfactants, and novel polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of ω-amino acids and other nitrogen-containing bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized surfactants, emulsifiers, and active ingredient precursors.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a monomer or co-monomer for creating novel polyamides, polyamines, or functionalized polymers with specific properties.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in Michael addition reactions, reduction to amines, and other transformations to extend carbon chains with functionalized termini.
• Research & Development: Essential for academic and industrial R&D exploring new synthetic methodologies and material science applications.
• Specialty Surfactants: A starting material for synthesizing bifunctional surfactants with unique hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.

Quality Control

Our 11-Nitro-1-Undecene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and relevant impurities is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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