Description

6-Nonen-1-ol is a nine-carbon unsaturated primary alcohol with a terminal double bond, offering a unique combination of reactivity and a characteristic odor profile. This compound is valued as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis and a key component for creating specific fragrance notes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as by chemical R&D laboratories developing specialty polymers and fine chemicals.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Used as a building block or direct component to impart green, melon, or waxy olfactory notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in organic synthesis for the production of more complex molecules, including pheromones and other biologically active compounds.
• Polymer Modification: Utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers and resins, where its terminal hydroxyl and alkene groups allow for cross-linking or functionalization.
• Lubricant and Surfactant Synthesis: Acts as a raw material in the production of specialty esters and other derivatives used in lubricant additives and surfactants.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for studying olefin metathesis, hydroformylation, and other catalytic reactions.

Quality Control

Our 6-Nonen-1-ol is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC analysis for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your production needs.

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 room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its oxidizable nature, minimize headspace in opened containers and keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
