Description

Methyl cis-8-Eicosenoate is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from specific unsaturated fatty acids. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced organic synthesis and analytical chemistry. It is essential for industries requiring precise chemical building blocks for research, specialty lubricants, and high-value oleochemical derivatives.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing complex lipids, surfactants, and specialty esters.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) for the identification and quantification of fatty acid profiles.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a bio-based component or synthetic base stock for high-performance lubricants and functional fluids.
• Oleochemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D to study the properties and reactions of long-chain unsaturated esters.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Excipient: Potential use as an emollient or penetration enhancer in topical formulations (subject to specific grade and compliance).
• Polymer & Plasticizer Precursor: Serves as a monomer or modifier in the production of specialized polymers and plasticizers.
