Description

5,7-Dimethyloctan-1-Ol CAS NO 85391-44-2 is a branched-chain primary alcohol, specifically a C10 alcohol, valued for its utility as a versatile chemical intermediate and fragrance ingredient. Its unique molecular structure, featuring two methyl groups on the carbon chain, imparts specific organoleptic and chemical properties that are leveraged in high-value formulations. This compound is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as by chemical synthesis specialists developing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Serves as a key intermediate or modifying agent in the synthesis of musky, woody, or amber-like fragrance compounds and flavor enhancers.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where its specific carbon skeleton is incorporated into more complex molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer and Plasticizer Production: Employed as a monomer or chain terminator in the synthesis of specialty polymers, resins, and plasticizers.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additives: Functions as a precursor for esters used as synthetic lubricant base stocks or performance-enhancing fuel additives.
• Surfactant and Detergent Manufacturing: Utilized in the production of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and household cleaning products.
• Organic Synthesis: A valuable chiral building block or reagent in asymmetric synthesis and fine chemical production for research and development.
