Description

15-(2-Cyclopenten-1-Yl)-8-Pentadecenoic Acid is a specialized, high-purity unsaturated fatty acid derivative characterized by its unique cyclopentenyl side chain. This structural feature makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex organic molecules, particularly in advanced pharmaceutical and fine chemical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise molecular architecture.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of prostaglandin analogs and other bioactive molecules with cyclopentane or cyclopentene ring systems.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral precursor or a functionalized fatty acid component in the production of complex fragrances, flavors, and liquid crystals.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing novel active ingredients, such as plant growth regulators or pesticides, where the fatty acid chain influences bioavailability and activity.
• Biochemical Research: Investigated as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to lipid metabolism and signaling pathways.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier for creating specialized polymers with tailored hydrophobic or self-assembly properties.

Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development purposes. Our standard grade typically meets a purity specification of ≥95% (by HPLC), with detailed impurity profiling available. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting identity, purity, and relevant physical characteristics. We can support development projects requiring compliance with cGMP or other stringent regulatory guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to prevent oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
