Description

4-Oleoylmorpholine is a high-purity specialty chemical intermediate with the CAS number 5299-52-5. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, combining a fatty acid chain with a morpholine moiety, which imparts valuable surface-active and chemical reactivity properties. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for use in synthesis, formulation, and as a functional additive.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly where lipid solubility and bioavailability enhancement are required.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key intermediate or emulsifier in the production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Additive & Modifier: Serves as a functional monomer or plasticizer additive in specialty polymer systems to modify flexibility, adhesion, or surface properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Utilized in the formulation of high-performance corrosion inhibitors for industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A crucial building block for creating novel non-ionic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Research & Development: Employed in organic synthesis and chemical research for developing new compounds with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Our 4-Oleoylmorpholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent purity and consistency standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
