Description

Thioacetic Acid S-[(E)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-Octadienyl] Ester is a specialized sulfur-containing ester derivative of geraniol, valued for its role as a key synthetic intermediate and flavor/fragrance precursor. This compound is critical for applications requiring the controlled introduction of sulfur or the characteristic sulfurous, tropical notes associated with certain mercaptans. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fine chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Serves as a precursor for sulfur-containing aroma chemicals, imparting tropical, grapefruit, or passion fruit notes in perfumes and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex molecules where the geranylthioacetate moiety is required for biological activity or as a synthetic handle.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Acts as a versatile reagent for introducing protected thiol groups or geranyl sulfide functionalities into target molecules.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the development of novel active ingredients and pheromones due to its specific chemical structure.
• Specialty Polymer Modifier: Investigated for use in creating polymers with unique properties via thiol-ene click chemistry or other polymerization techniques.

Quality Control

Our production of Thioacetic Acid S-[(E)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-Octadienyl] Ester adheres to stringent internal quality standards to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Every lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability.
