Description

3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31,35,39-Decamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22,26,30,34,38-Tetracontadecenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, long-chain methyl ester derivative of a highly branched isoprenoid acid. This specialty chemical serves as a critical advanced intermediate and reference standard in sophisticated organic synthesis and analytical research. It is primarily utilized by R&D laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for developing novel compounds with specific structural motifs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those requiring complex, lipophilic side chains for membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for creating advanced surfactants, adjuvants, or active ingredients with tailored biodegradability profiles.
• Specialty Polymer Research: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the development of polymers with unique hydrophobic, low-temperature, or self-assembling properties.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed in chromatography (GC, HPLC) and mass spectrometry for method development, calibration, and identification of similar branched-chain compounds.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Investigated as a precursor for synthesizing unique, high-molecular-weight fragrance components with exceptional longevity.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Research: Studied for its potential to improve viscosity indices, oxidative stability, and cold-flow properties in advanced formulations.
