Description

(Z)-4-Dodecenoic Acid CAS NO 7089-43-2 is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a cis (Z) configuration at the 4-position of its 12-carbon chain. This specific stereochemistry makes it a valuable chiral intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis and fine chemical manufacturing. It is primarily sought by research institutions and industrial producers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for developing active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, prostaglandin analogs, and other therapeutic compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of pheromones, plant growth regulators, and other specialized agrochemicals.
• Fine Chemical Production: Acts as a precursor for surfactants, lubricant additives, and other performance chemicals requiring specific fatty acid structures.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in lipidomics studies, membrane research, and as a standard for analytical method development.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Utilized in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and flavoring agents due to its fatty acid derivative nature.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or modifier in polymer chemistry for creating specialized polyesters or coatings.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-4-Dodecenoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for every shipment, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
