Description

Acetic Acid (Z)-11-Heptadecenyl Ester is a specific, high-purity unsaturated fatty acid ester derived from heptadecenoic acid. This compound matters as a versatile chemical intermediate and a key component in the synthesis of specialized oleochemicals, offering unique structural properties due to its defined cis (Z) configuration and long carbon chain. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for creating complex esters, as well as by research and development laboratories focused on lipid chemistry, pheromone synthesis, and advanced material science.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex esters and aroma chemicals for fine perfumery and flavor formulations.
• Pheromone and Bioactive Compound Synthesis: Serves as a key building block in the production of insect pheromones and other biologically active lipid molecules.
• Specialty Lubricant and Plasticizer Precursor: Acts as a starting material for creating novel oleochemical-based lubricants and polymer additives.
• Research & Development (R&D): Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying lipid metabolism, membrane chemistry, and organic synthesis pathways.
• Surface Active Agent Formulation: Utilized in the development of specialized surfactants and emulsifiers for niche applications.

Quality Control

Our Acetic Acid (Z)-11-Heptadecenyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and relevant physical properties is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
