Description

Hex-5-Enal (CAS NO 764-59-0) is a versatile, short-chain aliphatic aldehyde that serves as a key intermediate and building block in organic synthesis. Its reactive carbonyl group makes it a valuable precursor for creating more complex molecules, particularly in the fragrance and flavor industries. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories seeking to produce high-value aroma chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, and specialty polymers.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: A primary building block for synthesizing various aroma chemicals and flavoring agents, contributing to green, fruity, or citrus notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other complex organic molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Acts as a cross-linking agent or modifier in the production of specialty polymers and coatings.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in organic chemistry, particularly in aldol condensation and other carbonyl chemistry reactions.

Quality Control

Our Hex-5-Enal is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), to verify identity and assay. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, minimize exposure to air and heat. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
