Description

cis-3-Dodecene is a high-purity, linear alpha olefin characterized by its specific geometric isomerism. This compound matters as a versatile and valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, prized for its defined structure which enables precise chemical transformations. Industries requiring fine chemicals, such as specialty polymers, lubricant additives, and fragrance synthesis, need this isomerically pure building block to develop advanced materials with tailored properties.

Application

• As a key monomer or comonomer in the synthesis of specialty polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and other high-performance lubricants.
• As a chemical intermediate for producing surfactants and detergent alcohols via hydroformylation or other functionalization reactions.
• In organic synthesis for creating flavor and fragrance ingredients, where its specific carbon chain length and geometry are critical.
• As a standard or reference material in analytical chemistry and research for chromatography and spectroscopic studies.
• For the development of plasticizers and polymer modifiers to enhance material flexibility and performance.
• In catalytic studies as a model substrate for olefin metathesis and hydrogenation reactions.

Quality Control

Our cis-3-Dodecene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high isomeric purity and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Ideal storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C to minimize volatility and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
