Description

(E)-8-Dodecen-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol with a defined stereochemistry. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry. It is essential for manufacturers requiring a specific isomer to produce high-value pheromones, aroma chemicals, and specialty surfactants with precise olfactory or functional properties.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key chiral building block for the synthesis of insect pheromones and other bioactive aroma compounds.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Used in organic synthesis to introduce the (E)-configured dodecenyl chain into target molecules for pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.
• Pheromone Production: Critical raw material for manufacturing specific lepidopteran insect pheromones used in integrated pest management (IPM) systems.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or starting material in R&D laboratories for studying structure-activity relationships in olfaction and chemical ecology.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of high-value, low-volume chemicals where stereochemical purity is paramount.

Quality Control

Our (E)-8-Dodecen-1-Ol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure high isomeric purity and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing parameters such as assay (by GC), isomeric purity, and identity confirmation. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air.
