Description

cis-3-Heptene is a high-purity, seven-carbon alkene characterized by its specific geometric isomerism around the double bond. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis and industrial chemical processes. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for applications requiring a defined alkene feedstock.

Application

• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Used in the preparation of more complex molecules via addition, polymerization, or metathesis reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Acts as a key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of pesticides, herbicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of specific aroma compounds.
• Polymer Science: Investigated as a co-monomer or modifier in the development of novel polymeric materials.
• Chemical Standard: Used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry, particularly in gas chromatography (GC).
• Catalysis Research: A model substrate for studying and developing new catalytic processes, including hydrogenation and hydroformylation.

Quality Control

Our cis-3-Heptene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment and are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of peroxides. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability.
