Description

(7Z,11Z)-7,11-Hexadecadien-1-Ol CAS NO 53963-06-7 is a high-purity, long-chain unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific (7Z,11Z) geometric isomerism. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and active ingredient in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly pheromones and other biologically active compounds. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the agrochemical, fragrance, and fine chemical sectors seeking precise stereochemistry for targeted applications.

Application

• Pheromone Synthesis: A key building block for the production of specific insect sex pheromones used in integrated pest management (IPM) and eco-friendly agricultural traps.
• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as an intermediate in creating unique, long-lasting scent molecules and flavor precursors.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a chiral synthon or chain-extending unit in the laboratory-scale and industrial synthesis of complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or substrate in studies of insect olfaction, enzyme activity, and lipid metabolism.
• Specialty Surfactants: Potential use in the development of novel, biodegradable surfactants and emulsifiers due to its long hydrophobic chain and alcohol functionality.

Quality Control

Every batch of (7Z,11Z)-7,11-Hexadecadien-1-Ol is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and isomeric specificity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer ratio, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistent quality and reliable performance for your critical applications.

Storage

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