Description

trans-2-Undecen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its specific cis/trans configuration. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, prized for its defined molecular structure and reactivity. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical industries for the production of sophisticated aroma chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing complex aroma molecules, contributing to green, waxy, or citrus-like olfactory notes in fine perfumery and flavor compositions.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a chiral intermediate or a precursor in the synthesis of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a versatile intermediate for producing surfactants, lubricant additives, and other functional chemicals that benefit from its long alkyl chain and alcohol functionality.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the research and development of novel agrochemicals, such as pheromones or plant growth regulators.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or modifier in polymer chemistry for creating materials with specific properties.
