Description

Cis,cis-9,12-Octadecadienol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol derived from linoleic acid, serving as a critical intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in the reactive hydroxyl group and the specific configuration of its double bonds, which enable precise modifications for creating tailored derivatives. This compound is essential for R&D chemists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop bioactive compounds, emollients, or novel polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other bioactive lipid mediators for drug discovery and development.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Acts as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in high-end creams, lotions, and serums.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Serves as a monomer or chain modifier for producing polyesters and polyurethanes with specific flexibility and hydrophobicity.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Precursor: A key starting material for manufacturing biodegradable lubricant additives and non-ionic surfactants.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a standard or substrate in lipid metabolism studies and enzymatic assays.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Employed in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and flavoring agents.
