Description

3-Nonen-1-ol is a nine-carbon unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by a terminal double bond and a primary hydroxyl group. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry where it contributes to green, waxy, and melon-like olfactory notes. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D chemists in fine chemical, aroma chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to create or modify specific scent profiles or bioactive compounds.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Serves as a key intermediate or component in the creation of sophisticated perfumes and flavorings, imparting fresh, green, and fruity nuances.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Utilized as a versatile building block in chemical research and production for synthesizing more complex molecules, including other alcohols, esters, and aldehydes.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Acts as a precursor in the manufacture of specific aroma chemicals that require its distinct carbon chain and functional group.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for studying the properties and reactions of medium-chain unsaturated alcohols.
• Specialty Chemical Formulations: Used in the development of specialized formulations for agrochemicals or functional materials where its specific hydrophobicity and reactivity are beneficial.

Quality Control

Our 3-Nonen-1-ol is produced and handled under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by gas chromatography (GC). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with full specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). As the material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and heat sources.
