Description

3-Decenoic Acid is a medium-chain unsaturated fatty acid with the CAS registry number 53678-20-9. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, prized for its unique carbon chain length and reactive carboxylic acid functionality. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop novel compounds or modify material properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly those requiring specific lipid-like properties for enhanced bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor for manufacturing herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that incorporate a decenoic acid moiety.
• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Serves as a starting material for the production of esters and lactones used in creating complex flavor profiles and aromatic compounds.
• Polymer and Resin Modifier: Employed to introduce carboxylic acid groups into polymers, influencing cross-linking, adhesion, and surface properties in coatings and composites.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additive Precursor: Converted into derivatives that improve the performance characteristics of industrial lubricants and biofuels.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a substrate or standard in metabolic studies and lipidomics research due to its specific fatty acid structure.

Quality Control

Our 3-Decenoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via techniques such as GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

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