Description

n-Decyllactate (L-Isomer) is a chiral ester of decyl alcohol and lactic acid, specifically the L-enantiomer. This compound matters for its role as a versatile chiral intermediate and building block in the synthesis of high-value, optically active products. It is needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring specific stereochemistry, such as in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced materials.

Application

• As a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).
• Building block for liquid crystals and advanced optical materials.
• Key starting material for agrochemicals, including chiral pesticides and herbicides.
• Intermediate in the production of specialty surfactants and emulsifiers.
• Used in fragrance and flavor compound synthesis for specific stereoisomeric notes.
• Component in polymer chemistry for creating polymers with tailored properties.
• Research and development of new chemical entities in academic and industrial labs.
