Description

cis-9-Dodecenal is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde with a distinct fatty, waxy character. This compound serves as a key intermediate and a valuable fragrance ingredient, prized for its ability to impart subtle, natural nuances to complex scent profiles. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical synthesis sectors seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A crucial component in the creation of sophisticated perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic products, adding fatty, waxy, and citrus-like notes.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for synthesizing more complex organic molecules, including pheromones, specialty polymers, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of novel insect pheromones for environmentally friendly pest control solutions.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in academic and industrial laboratories for studies in organic chemistry, olfactory science, and material science.
• Food Flavoring: Employed in trace amounts to enhance or create specific fatty, creamy, or citrus flavor profiles in food products.
