Description

Elaidoyl Chloride is a high-purity fatty acid chloride derivative, specifically the trans-isomer of oleoyl chloride. This reactive intermediate is essential for introducing the elaidoyl moiety into target molecules, enabling precise chemical synthesis and modification. It is a critical reagent for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require consistent quality and reliable supply for their advanced R&D and production processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly for lipid-conjugation strategies to enhance bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for creating specialized surfactants, emulsifiers, and plant protection agents.
• Polymer Chemistry: Employed in the production of specialty polymers, including polyamides and polyesters, where it modifies surface properties and functionality.
• Lipid Research & Biochemistry: A vital tool for synthesizing labeled lipids, phospholipids, and other biomimetic compounds for metabolic studies and diagnostic applications.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Used in the manufacture of emollients, esters, and other conditioning agents for high-end formulations.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as an acylating agent in Friedel-Crafts and other condensation reactions to form ketones, amides, and esters.

Quality Control

Our Elaidoyl Chloride CAS NO 7459-35-0 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC/GC) are provided to guarantee traceability, purity, and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
