Description

trans-2-Tridecenyl Acetate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid ester with a distinct chemical structure that makes it a valuable intermediate and active ingredient. This compound is essential for applications requiring specific olfactory profiles or defined chemical reactivity in synthesis. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for its role in creating complex aroma molecules and as a building block for advanced organic synthesis.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A key intermediate and aroma chemical used in the synthesis of complex, long-lasting fragrance compounds for perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Pheromone & Insect Attractant Formulations: Serves as a critical component or precursor in the production of insect pheromones for agricultural pest monitoring and control systems.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing the cis-2-tridecenyl moiety into larger, more complex molecules for research and development.
• Fine Chemical Production: Utilized in the manufacture of high-value fine chemicals where specific stereochemistry and chain length are required for biological activity or material properties.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and life science research to study olfactory receptors, insect behavior, and organic reaction pathways.
