Description

(Z)-Dodec-3-En-1-Al CAS NO 68141-15-1 is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde characterized by its distinct cis-configuration and long hydrocarbon chain. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile flavor and fragrance intermediate, imparting unique green, citrus, and waxy notes. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, cosmetic, and specialty chemical synthesis industries seeking to create complex organoleptic profiles or specific chiral molecules.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key building block for synthesizing premium fragrance compounds with green, citrus, or floral nuances, and for creating sophisticated food flavorings.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in the formulation of perfumes, lotions, and soaps as a fragrance ingredient and a potential precursor for other functional ingredients.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a crucial chiral intermediate or starting material in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and liquid crystals due to its reactive aldehyde group and defined stereochemistry.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying olefin metathesis, asymmetric synthesis, and the development of new catalytic processes.
• Specialty Chemicals: Acts as a precursor for surfactants, lubricant additives, and polymer modifiers where its long chain and functional group can be utilized.
