Description

(Z)-Tetradec-9-Enyl Formate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid ester with a defined cis-configuration. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and a functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for creating complex, long-chain organic molecules. Its specific structure makes it suitable for applications requiring precise molecular geometry and controlled reactivity.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used as a building block or a direct component in the synthesis of sophisticated musk-like, fruity, or floral aroma chemicals.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a versatile intermediate for producing pheromones, liquid crystals, and other fine chemicals where the (Z)-alkene geometry is critical.
• Specialty Lubricants and Additives: Acts as a precursor or an additive in formulating synthetic esters for high-performance lubricants and functional fluids.
• Research and Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D labs as a standard or reagent for studying olefin metathesis, esterification, and other organic transformations.
• Polymer Modification: Can be used to introduce long alkyl chains with unsaturation into polymers to modify flexibility, hydrophobicity, or cross-linking potential.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-Tetradec-9-Enyl Formate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle under an inert gas blanket for long-term stability.
