Description

(Z)-4-Dodecene is a high-purity, linear alpha olefin characterized by its specific cis (Z) configuration around the carbon-carbon double bond. This precise stereochemistry makes it a valuable and versatile intermediate for advanced chemical synthesis, offering superior control in reactions where molecular geometry is critical. It is essential for research and development laboratories, specialty chemical manufacturers, and industries focused on producing fine chemicals, lubricant additives, and functional polymers.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for the production of specialty surfactants, plasticizers, and lubricant additives.
• Organic Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D for studying stereoselective reactions, including hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerization.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a comonomer in the synthesis of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other polyolefins to modify physical properties.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Employed as a precursor in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and specific flavoring agents.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the multi-step synthesis of complex organic molecules for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemicals: Functions as an intermediate in the manufacture of certain pesticides and herbicides.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-4-Dodecene is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high chemical purity and confirm the specified (Z)-isomer configuration. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles to meet your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture uptake.
