Description

Methyl-cis-4-Decenoate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the 4-position. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and building block for synthesizing more complex molecules in fine chemical and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by R&D laboratories and manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, agrochemical, and specialty polymer sectors seeking to incorporate unique olefinic structures.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Ingredient: Used as a key intermediate or modifier in the synthesis of novel esters and lactones that contribute to fruity, creamy, or fatty olfactory notes.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for creating pheromones, insecticidal compounds, and other bioactive molecules with specific chain lengths and unsaturation.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in medicinal chemistry for the development of drug candidates, particularly those requiring a defined, medium-chain fatty acid ester moiety.
• Specialty Polymer Monomer: Can be used in the production of functional polymers and coatings, where the internal double bond offers a site for cross-linking or further chemical modification.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Serves as a standard or starting material in organic synthesis for carbon chain elongation, Grignard reactions, or catalytic transformations.
• Lubricant and Plasticizer Intermediate: Utilized in the development of bio-based or specialty ester fluids and plasticizers with tailored physical properties.
