Description

Delta 14 Cis Tricosenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the 14th carbon. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced organic synthesis and analytical chemistry. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors who require defined lipid structures for product development and quality control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex lipid-based drug molecules, prodrugs, and bioactive compounds.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified standard for gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) in lipidomics and quality testing of fatty acid derivatives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for producing specialized surfactants, adjuvants, and active ingredients with specific hydrophobic properties.
• Specialty Polymer & Lubricant Additive: Utilized in creating tailored monomers for polymers or as a precursor for high-performance ester-based lubricants and plasticizers.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies of membrane fluidity, lipid metabolism, and as a substrate for enzymatic studies involving lipases or desaturases.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Functions as an intermediate for synthesizing specific long-chain aroma chemicals and flavor compounds.
