Description

Cyclotetradec-3-en-1-one is a specialized macrocyclic ketone featuring a 14-membered ring with an internal double bond. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for constructing complex fragrance molecules and pharmaceutical scaffolds. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process developers in the flavor & fragrance and fine chemical industries for its role in creating musky, amber-like odorants and other high-value compounds.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of macrocyclic musk compounds, contributing to long-lasting, sophisticated scent profiles in perfumes and personal care products.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a versatile scaffold or intermediate in medicinal chemistry for the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring specific ring conformations.
• Organic Synthesis: Used in advanced organic reactions, including ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and other cyclization strategies, to construct complex natural product analogs.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or precursor for specialty polymers and functional materials where its cyclic structure imparts specific physical properties.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Supplied as a high-purity standard for analytical testing, method development, and quality control in related chemical manufacturing.
