Description

trans-2-Dodecenol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific geometric isomerism. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, prized for its defined structure which imparts specific reactivity and properties to final products. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for the production of aroma chemicals, liquid crystals, and advanced polymer additives.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: A key intermediate in the synthesis of specific aliphatic aldehydes and esters that contribute to fresh, citrus, and waxy olfactory notes in perfumes and food flavorings.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial chiral building block or chain extender in the production of liquid crystals for display technologies, surfactants, and lubricant additives.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of pheromones and other bioactive compounds for crop protection products.
• Polymer Science: Employed as a monomer or co-monomer to modify the properties of polymers, influencing characteristics like flexibility, hydrophobicity, or cross-linking density.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in organic chemistry research, particularly in studies involving stereoselective reactions and olefin chemistry.

Quality Control

Our trans-2-Dodecenol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive applications in fragrance and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, isomer content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and use promptly.
