Description

cis-7-Tetradecenol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by a specific cis-configuration at the 7-position. This precise molecular structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories requiring a reliable source of this specific isomer for the production of pheromones, specialty esters, and other fine chemicals.

Application

• Pheromone Synthesis: A key intermediate in the production of insect sex pheromones for agricultural pest management.
• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a building block for creating musky, fatty, or waxy odor notes in perfumes and flavor compounds.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a chiral synthon or chain-extending unit in the synthesis of complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.
• Liquid Crystal Research: Investigated as a component in the development of organic liquid crystalline materials.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additives: Used to modify the properties of surfactants and synthetic lubricants through esterification or other reactions.
• Chemical Research & Development: A standard reagent for academic and industrial research in organic chemistry and material science.
