Description

2-Dodecene,(Z)- is a high-purity, linear α-olefin characterized by its specific cis (Z) configuration around the carbon-carbon double bond. This isomerically defined structure is critical for applications requiring precise chemical reactivity and consistent physical properties. It serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis for the production of surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers. Industries such as fine chemicals, petrochemicals, and materials science rely on its quality for research, development, and manufacturing processes.

Application

• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: A key starting material for the production of alcohols, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids via hydroformylation, oxidation, or other functionalization reactions.
• Surfactant & Detergent Precursor: Used in the manufacture of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) and other anionic surfactants for industrial and household cleaning formulations.
• Lubricant & Plasticizer Component: Acts as a co-monomer or feedstock in the synthesis of synthetic lubricant base oils and polyalphaolefins (PAOs), as well as certain plasticizers.
• Polymer & Co-polymer Production: Serves as a comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other specialty polymers to modify properties like flexibility and impact resistance.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and flavors & fragrances where a specific C12 chain length is required.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D labs as a standard or reagent for studying olefin metathesis, polymerization kinetics, and other catalytic processes.
