Description

10E-Hexadecen-1-Ol is a monounsaturated fatty alcohol with a terminal hydroxyl group, characterized by its specific cis-10 double bond configuration. This precise chemical structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block for synthesizing complex organic molecules, including pheromones, flavors, and specialty surfactants. It is essential for research and development laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and industries focused on advanced material science and agrochemicals.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block for the production of insect sex pheromones and other bioactive compounds.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and natural flavor components.
• Specialty Surfactants: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing novel surfactants with specific emulsifying and wetting properties.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed as an intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Agrochemicals: Utilized in the synthesis of specific active ingredients for crop protection products.
• Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the creation of polymers with tailored characteristics.
• Lubricant Additives: A precursor for manufacturing synthetic esters used in high-performance lubricants.
