Description

Z-8-Dodecen-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by a specific double bond position at the 8-carbon. This compound is a valuable intermediate in fine chemical synthesis, prized for its defined molecular structure which enables precise chemical transformations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for the production of esters, aroma chemicals, and other advanced intermediates.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing specific esters and lactones that contribute to fruity, waxy, or creamy olfactory notes in perfumes and food flavorings.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial precursor in organic synthesis for creating surfactants, plasticizers, and lubricant additives with tailored properties.
• Pheromone & Agrochemical Research: Used in the research and development of insect pheromones and other bioactive compounds due to its specific alkene structure.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of complex molecules for pharmaceutical applications where a defined C12 chain with unsaturation is required.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of specialized polymers, influencing flexibility and other physical characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Z-8-Dodecen-1-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including GC, HPLC, and NMR to verify identity, purity, and isomeric composition. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters to ensure it meets your specific application requirements and internal specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize headspace and contact with air.
