Description

5-Methyl-1-Decene is a branched-chain terminal alkene (α-olefin) with the CAS registry number 54244-79-0. This specialty olefin is valued for its role as a versatile building block in organic synthesis and as a key intermediate in the production of high-performance polymers and surfactants. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the polymer, fine chemical, and lubricant additive industries.

Application

• Polymer & Copolymer Production: Serves as a comonomer in the synthesis of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other polyolefins to modify properties like density and flexibility.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial intermediate for producing flavors, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals via reactions like hydroformylation, epoxidation, and hydrogenation.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additives: Used in the manufacture of synthetic lubricants, oil additives, and specialty surfactants due to its branching, which improves low-temperature performance and solubility.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in organic chemistry research, particularly in studies involving olefin metathesis and catalytic transformations.
