Description

5-Hexen-1-ol is a versatile terminal olefinic alcohol, also known as 5-Hexen-1-Ol CAS NO 821-41-0, valued for its bifunctional reactivity. This compound serves as a crucial building block in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of both hydroxyl and alkene functionalities in a single molecule. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, pharmaceutical, and polymer industries for the production of intermediates, specialty chemicals, and functional materials.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key precursor for synthesizing complex molecules via reactions like hydroformylation, epoxidation, and metathesis.
• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used in the creation of aroma chemicals and esters that contribute to green, fruity, or floral notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive compounds.
• Polymer and Resin Production: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the manufacture of specialty polymers, coatings, and adhesives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Utilized in the production of certain pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Surface Active Agents: Serves as a raw material for producing surfactants and emulsifiers.

Quality Control

Our 5-Hexen-1-ol is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with global standards, including REACH compliance for the European market.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to keep the container tightly sealed under an inert gas blanket (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
