Description

Benzoic Acid, 4-(10-Undecenyloxy)- is a specialized organic compound featuring a benzoic acid core functionalized with a long-chain undecenyloxy substituent. This unique molecular architecture, combining aromatic and long-chain aliphatic components, makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing advanced materials and functional chemicals. It is particularly sought after by R&D and production teams in the fine chemical, polymer, and specialty surfactant industries for creating novel compounds with tailored properties.

Application

• Polymer Science & Material Chemistry: A key monomer or intermediate for the synthesis of specialty polymers, liquid crystals, and advanced polymeric materials requiring specific side-chain functionalities.
• Surface-Active Agent (Surfactant) Development: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers, where the undecenyl chain provides hydrophobic character and the benzoic acid group offers a site for further modification.
• Organic Synthesis & Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used as a building block in multi-step organic synthesis for creating complex molecules, potentially for pharmaceutical or agrochemical applications.
• Crosslinking Agent & Reactive Modifier: The terminal alkene (undecenyl) group allows this compound to participate in thiol-ene or other addition reactions, making it useful as a crosslinker or reactive diluent in resin and coating formulations.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Intermediate: Acts as a chemical intermediate for producing high-performance additives that improve the properties of lubricants and functional fluids.
• Research & Development: A valuable tool for academic and industrial researchers exploring new chemical entities, supramolecular chemistry, and material properties.
