Description

Cyclopentane, Dodecyl- CAS NO 5634-30-0 is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl-substituted cyclopentane derivative. This specialty hydrocarbon is valued for its unique combination of a stable cyclic core and a lipophilic dodecyl chain, making it an effective intermediate and functional additive. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, lubricant, and polymer industries for its role in modifying physical properties and creating tailored molecular architectures.

Application

• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and detergents.
• As a viscosity modifier and base fluid component in high-performance synthetic lubricants and greases.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in polymer formulations to enhance flexibility and workability.
• As a solvent and reaction medium for specific organic synthesis processes requiring a non-polar, high-boiling environment.
• In the research and development of novel pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemicals.
• As a standard reference material for analytical and quality control laboratories.
