Description

12-Heptadecyn-1-ol is a high-purity, long-chain terminal alkyne alcohol with significant utility as a versatile chemical intermediate. Its unique structure, featuring both a hydroxyl group and a terminal alkyne moiety, makes it a valuable building block for advanced organic synthesis and materials science. This compound is particularly sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for creating novel compounds with tailored properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds requiring long hydrophobic chains or "click chemistry" modifications via the terminal alkyne group.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of novel pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where its aliphatic chain can influence bioavailability and activity.
• Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or functionalizing agent for creating specialty polymers, surfactants, and surface coatings with specific hydrophobic or reactive characteristics.
• Liquid Crystal & Display Technology: Employed in the synthesis of organic compounds for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other electronic materials.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A crucial reagent for coupling reactions (e.g., Sonogashira, Glaser-Hay) and for introducing long-chain functionalities in complex molecule construction.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Used to develop high-performance additives that modify viscosity, reduce friction, or improve stability in lubricants and fuels.
