Description

Heptadeca-1,8,11,14-Tetraene is a specialized polyunsaturated hydrocarbon with a defined linear structure containing four double bonds. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex organic molecules and advanced materials. It is primarily sought by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for applications requiring precise, long-chain aliphatic building blocks.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring specific hydrocarbon chain lengths and unsaturation.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where its polyene structure can be functionalized.
• Specialty Polymer Research: Acts as a monomer or co-monomer in the development of polymers with tailored properties, such as specific flexibility, reactivity, or optical characteristics.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in academic and industrial R&D labs for constructing complex natural product analogs, fragrances, and other fine chemicals.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for potential use in organic electronics, liquid crystals, or as a precursor for carbon-based nanomaterials.

Quality Control

Our Heptadeca-1,8,11,14-Tetraene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. We support compliance with REACH and other relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
