Description

4-Decen-1-ol is a medium-chain unsaturated primary alcohol with the CAS number 72255-83-5. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, valued for its terminal hydroxyl group and internal double bond. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for the production of esters, aroma chemicals, and other fine chemicals.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various aroma chemicals and esters that contribute to fruity, waxy, or green olfactory notes.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: The terminal alcohol and internal alkene functionality make it a valuable precursor for producing more complex molecules via reactions like esterification, etherification, or epoxidation.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Can be employed as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and resins to modify properties such as flexibility and hydrophobicity.
• Lubricant and Surfactant Intermediate: Acts as a starting material for the manufacture of synthetic lubricant additives and non-ionic surfactants.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block or synthon in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Utilized in the production of certain pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
