Description

2-(Acetyloxy)-10-Undecenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a specialized organic ester compound with a terminal olefinic group, serving as a valuable bifunctional intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. Its molecular structure, combining an ester linkage and an acetyl-protected hydroxyl group on a long aliphatic chain, makes it a versatile building block for creating polymers, surfactants, and fine chemicals. This product is essential for R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to introduce specific functional groups or modify chain length in target molecules.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a reactive monomer or chain extender in the synthesis of specialty polyesters, polyurethanes, and acrylic resins, imparting flexibility and specific functional sites.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key precursor in the multi-step synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), leveraging its terminal double bond and ester group for further chemical transformations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where its alkenyl chain is incorporated into the final molecule's architecture.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additives: Employed in the manufacture of bio-based or functionalized surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricant additives due to its hydrophobic chain and modifiable end groups.
• Crosslinking Agent: Functions as a crosslinker in coatings, adhesives, and elastomer formulations, where the acrylate-like structure can participate in polymerization reactions.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Provides a versatile C11 synthon with orthogonal protecting groups for complex organic molecule construction in academic and industrial research.
