Description

trans-5-Decen-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol with a terminal hydroxyl group and a specific trans-configuration across its carbon chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing fine chemicals, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industry where it contributes to green, waxy, and citrus-like olfactory notes. It is essential for manufacturers of aroma chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, and specialty surfactants seeking to introduce specific olefinic and alcohol functionalities into their products.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing esters and other derivatives that impart fresh, green, and waxy nuances to perfumes and flavor compositions.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral intermediate or a chain-extending unit in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Specialty Surfactants & Lubricants: Used to produce olefinic nonionic surfactants and synthetic lubricant additives, leveraging its unsaturated chain for polymerization or functionalization.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of certain pesticides and plant growth regulators where the specific ten-carbon chain is required.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A versatile reagent in organic chemistry for cross-coupling reactions, hydrogenation studies, and as a model compound in catalysis research.

Quality Control

Our trans-5-Decen-1-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, IR, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and isomeric integrity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific application requirements, from industrial to research standards.

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. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and prolong shelf life. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
