Description

10Z-Hexadecen-1-Ol is a monounsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by a cis double bond at the 10th carbon. This specific molecular structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for synthesizing complex organic molecules, including pheromones and bioactive lipids. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the fragrance, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-purity, stereochemically defined raw materials. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for your advanced R&D and production needs.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of specific musks and other macrocyclic fragrance compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of insect pheromones for environmentally friendly pest management strategies.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a chiral synthon for the development of lipid-based drug candidates and bioactive molecules.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for creating surfactants, liquid crystals, and other specialty chemicals.
• Biochemical Studies: Utilized as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies related to lipid metabolism.

Quality Control

Our 10Z-Hexadecen-1-Ol is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to verify identity, isomeric purity, and chemical assay. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and prolong shelf life. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
