Description

12-Chloro-Decanol is a versatile chlorinated fatty alcohol intermediate, also known by its CAS number 51309-14-9. This compound is valued for its bifunctional reactivity, featuring both a terminal chloro group and a primary hydroxyl group, which enables its use in the synthesis of more complex molecules. It is a critical building block for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to introduce specific alkyl chain functionalities.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly those requiring a lipophilic alkyl chain linker.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for manufacturing herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or chain transfer agent in the production of specialty polymers, including polyesters and polyethers, to modify physical properties.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additive Production: Employed in the creation of non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers, and high-performance lubricant additives.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in nucleophilic substitution and esterification reactions to construct complex organic molecules for research and development.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Functions as an intermediate for synthesizing specific aroma chemicals and esters.
