Description

9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic Acid, 2-(Acetyloxy)-1-[(Acetyloxy)Methyl]Ethy L Ester, (Z,Z,Z)- is a high-purity, acetylated derivative of α-linolenic acid (ALA), a key ω-3 fatty acid. This specialized ester is engineered to enhance solubility and stability in various formulations, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced chemical synthesis and product development. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for research and production applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of prodrugs or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where modified fatty acid profiles are required.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulation: Serves as a stabilized, bioavailable precursor for ω-3 supplements and functional food ingredients.
• Biochemical & Life Science Research: Acts as a critical reagent in lipidomics research, metabolic studies, and the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for creating surfactants, emulsifiers, and other specialty esters with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Utilized in the formulation of high-end skincare products for its potential emollient and skin-barrier enhancing properties.
• Polymer & Material Science: Functions as a monomer or plasticizer in the development of bio-based and biodegradable polymers.
