Description

Cyclopentanedecol CAS NO 595-03-9 is a high-purity, long-chain alicyclic diol. This specialty chemical serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, offering unique structural properties. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer sectors for developing novel compounds and materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly for compounds requiring a rigid, lipophilic backbone.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor in the development of new-generation pesticides and herbicides, where its structure can influence bioavailability and environmental persistence.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Incorporated as a diol component in the production of specialty polyesters, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins to modify flexibility, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Serves as a building block for mesogenic units in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its conformational rigidity.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Utilized in the synthesis of esters and other derivatives that function as emollients, viscosity modifiers, or delivery agents in high-end formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Employed to create synthetic esters that enhance the performance characteristics of industrial lubricants and functional fuel additives.
