Description

Linolenoyl Chloride is a high-purity fatty acid chloride derivative, specifically the acid chloride of linolenic acid. This reactive intermediate is essential for introducing the linolenoyl moiety into target molecules, enabling precise chemical synthesis and modification. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for applications such as lipid conjugation, polymer synthesis, and the production of bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of prodrugs, lipid-drug conjugates, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting metabolic pathways.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized surfactants, adjuvants, and active ingredients that require specific fatty acid chains for enhanced efficacy.
• Polymer & Material Science: Serves as a monomer or modifier in the creation of specialty polymers, resins, and coatings with tailored hydrophobic properties.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Facilitates the covalent attachment of lipid tags to proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules for research, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in Friedel-Crafts acylation, esterification, and amidation reactions to construct complex organic molecules in research and development.
• Nutritional & Cosmetic Ingredient Precursor: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing esters, amides, or other derivatives used in high-value nutritional supplements and cosmetic formulations.

Quality Control

Every batch of Linolenoyl Chloride is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for customers in regulated industries, ensuring reliable supply for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition.
