Description

10-Chloro-1-Decanol is a bifunctional organic intermediate featuring both a terminal chloro group and a primary hydroxyl group on a ten-carbon alkyl chain. This unique structure makes it a versatile building block for the synthesis of surfactants, polymers, and specialty chemicals. It is particularly valuable for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries seeking to introduce specific functional groups or chain lengths into their target molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, where the chloro and hydroxyl groups serve as handles for further chemical modification.
• Surfactant & Detergent Precursor: Acts as a key raw material for producing cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants, which are essential components in industrial cleaners, personal care products, and emulsifiers.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Employed to introduce functional side chains into polymers, influencing properties like hydrophilicity, flexibility, and cross-linking density in coatings, adhesives, and specialty plastics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, utilizing its alkyl chain for lipophilicity.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Component: Used to synthesize additives that improve the performance, stability, and anti-wear characteristics of industrial lubricants and fuels.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent in organic synthesis for constructing longer carbon chains or for nucleophilic substitution and esterification reactions in lab-scale and process development.

Quality Control

Our 10-Chloro-1-decanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
