Description

1-Nonanol, 3-Butyl- is a branched-chain primary alcohol with the CAS number 51655-63-1. This specialty chemical serves as a valuable intermediate and functional ingredient, prized for its specific hydrophobic character and reactivity. It is primarily utilized in the synthesis of fine chemicals, fragrances, and performance additives. Industries such as flavor & fragrance, agrochemicals, and polymer manufacturing rely on this compound for its unique structural properties.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of esters and other derivatives for creating unique, long-lasting olfactory notes in perfumes and flavor compositions.
• Plasticizer and Polymer Additive: Acts as a precursor for esters that function as specialty plasticizers or stabilizers in polymer formulations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block in the production of certain pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Lubricant and Surfactant Component: Employed in the manufacture of synthetic lubricants and non-ionic surfactants due to its hydrophobic chain length.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized as a versatile alkylating agent or a protected alcohol synthon in complex multi-step pharmaceutical and fine chemical syntheses.
• Solvent for Specialty Applications: Functions as a high-boiling-point solvent for resins, inks, and coatings where slow evaporation rates are required.
