Description

cis-13-Octadecenol CAS NO 69820-27-5 is a high-purity, monounsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the 13th carbon. This precise molecular structure is critical for applications requiring defined stereochemistry and consistent performance in synthesis and formulation. It serves as a valuable intermediate and functional ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable quality and supply chain stability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specific lipid-based drug molecules, prodrugs, and bioactive compounds where the defined cis-alkenyl chain is essential.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Functions as an emollient, thickener, and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth texture.
• Liquid Crystal & Display Technology: Acts as a precursor or dopant in the production of liquid crystal materials for electronic displays due to its specific alkyl chain length and unsaturation.
• Lubricant & Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for manufacturing specialized esters, ethers, and other derivatives used in high-performance lubricants and surfactants.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Utilized as an intermediate for creating specific aroma chemicals and flavoring agents with desired olfactory properties.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or reagent in biochemical and chemical research, particularly in lipidomics and membrane studies.

Quality Control

Our cis-13-Octadecenol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high chemical purity, isomeric consistency, and the absence of critical impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent oxidation.
