Description

(Z)-Hexadec-11-En-1-Ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the double bond. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and building block in the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials, offering precise structural control for downstream applications. It is primarily sought after by R&D laboratories, specialty chemical manufacturers, and producers in the fragrance, cosmetic, and agrochemical industries for its utility in creating complex organic molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly those requiring specific lipid-like properties or controlled release mechanisms.
• Fragrance & Flavor Synthesis: Acts as a key precursor for creating musk-like odorants, pheromones, and other specialty aroma chemicals due to its long-chain unsaturated structure.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed in the development of novel surfactants, adjuvants, and active ingredients for crop protection products.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or chain modifier in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and lubricants to impart specific flexibility or hydrophobic characteristics.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Utilized in the formulation of high-end skincare products, such as emollients and stabilizers, where purity and skin compatibility are paramount.
• Research & Development: A valuable standard and starting material in organic chemistry research, catalysis studies, and metabolic pathway investigations.
