Description

trans-7-Decenol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol with a distinct ten-carbon chain and a trans-configured double bond at the 7-position. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for the production of complex flavor and fragrance compounds, pheromones, and liquid crystal materials. It is essential for R&D laboratories and manufacturers in the fragrance, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to create or modify organoleptic profiles and functional material properties.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing esters and other derivatives that contribute fresh, green, waxy, or citrus-like notes in fine perfumery and flavor compositions.
• Pheromone Synthesis: Used in the research and production of insect pheromones for agricultural pest management and monitoring systems.
• Specialty Polymer & Liquid Crystal Precursor: Serves as a monomer or mesogen precursor in the development of specialized polymers and liquid crystalline materials for electronic displays and advanced optics.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a versatile chiral intermediate or chain-extending unit in multi-step synthetic routes for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Modification: Employed to introduce unsaturation and specific chain length into molecules for creating specialized lubricant additives or non-ionic surfactants with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Every batch of trans-7-Decenol is produced and verified under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, GC-MS, and NMR to ensure high chemical purity, precise isomeric content, and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and use promptly.
