Description

cis-3-Penten-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic alcohol with a distinctive odor profile. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, valued for its reactive terminal hydroxyl and internal double bond. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries for the production of specialty esters, aroma chemicals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Synthesis: A key intermediate for creating green, fruity, and floral aroma notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specific drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring a cis-configured pentenol structure.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Acts as a building block for producing plasticizers, lubricant additives, and other functional oleochemical derivatives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the research and production of certain pesticides and herbicides.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Can be used to introduce hydroxyl functionality into polymers for cross-linking or to modify material properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for studying addition reactions and synthesizing complex organic molecules.
