Description

3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31-Octamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22,26,30-Dotriacontaocten-1-Ol is a high-purity, long-chain isoprenoid alcohol, also widely known as Solanesol. This compound is a critical intermediate and building block in the synthesis of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) and vitamin K analogs, prized for its specific molecular structure. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors requiring a reliable, high-quality raw material for research and production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Primary intermediate in the industrial-scale production of Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone-10), a vital compound for cellular energy production and a key dietary supplement.
• Nutraceutical Manufacturing: Used as a starting material for synthesizing Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) and other fat-soluble vitamins.
• Fine Chemical Research: Serves as a versatile chiral building block in organic synthesis for creating complex natural products and specialty chemicals.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Potential raw material for synthesizing bioactive compounds used in anti-aging and skin-care formulations.
• Biochemical Studies: Utilized in research on isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways and lipid metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Solanesol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be kept sealed and purged after each use to maintain product integrity.
