Description

11-Hexadecyn-1-ol is a terminal alkyne-functionalized long-chain fatty alcohol, a versatile building block in organic synthesis and materials science. Its unique structure, featuring both a hydroxyl group and a terminal alkyne, makes it a critical intermediate for click chemistry, polymer modification, and the creation of advanced surfactants and liquid crystals. This high-purity compound is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to introduce specific functional handles into complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for click chemistry (CuAAC) reactions to create novel drug candidates and bioconjugates.
• Polymer Science: Used as a monomer or chain-transfer agent for synthesizing functional polymers with tailored surface properties.
• Liquid Crystal & Display Materials: Acts as a mesogenic precursor for developing advanced liquid crystalline materials.
• Surfactant & Lubricant Additive Synthesis: Provides a reactive site for grafting polar groups onto hydrocarbon chains to create specialty surfactants and lubricant additives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the development of novel active ingredients with specific hydrophobic and reactive characteristics.
• Material Surface Modification: Used to create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal or oxide surfaces for corrosion inhibition or to alter wettability.
• Research & Development: A fundamental tool in academic and industrial labs for exploring new organic reactions and material properties.

Quality Control

Our 11-Hexadecyn-1-ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize potential oxidation.
