Description

trans-5-Dodecen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol with a defined 12-carbon chain and a trans-configured double bond at the 5-position. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable chiral intermediate and building block for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including pheromones, flavors, and fragrances. It is essential for R&D laboratories and production facilities in the fine chemical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors seeking reliable, high-quality intermediates for advanced synthesis.

Application

• Pheromone Synthesis: A key chiral intermediate in the production of lepidopteran insect sex pheromones for eco-friendly pest management.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used as a building block for creating specific, high-value aroma chemicals and flavor compounds.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of advanced, targeted active ingredients.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A versatile chiral synthon for pharmaceutical research and the development of novel organic compounds.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Potential use as a component or intermediate in the synthesis of specialty liquid crystalline materials.
• Polymer Modification: Can be used to introduce specific functional groups into polymers for specialty material applications.

Quality Control

Our trans-5-Dodecen-1-ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity and batch-to-batch consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming identity, purity, and relevant specifications 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, well-ventilated area at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
