Description

Delta 14 Cis Pentadecenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the δ-14 position. This precise molecular structure makes it a valuable intermediate and reference standard for research and synthesis in advanced organic chemistry. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical sectors for applications requiring defined lipid profiles.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of bioactive lipid molecules, prostaglandin analogs, and other specialized therapeutic agents.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a critical analytical standard for gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) in lipidomics and metabolic research.
• Nutraceutical Research: A key component in studies investigating the biological effects of specific odd-chain and unsaturated fatty acids.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Utilized in chemical synthesis to introduce the pentadecenoic acid moiety into more complex molecular architectures.
• Biochemical Research: Applied in membrane lipid studies, enzyme substrate specificity assays, and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Specialty Lubricant & Polymer Additive: Investigated for use in formulating high-performance, bio-based lubricants and functional polymer modifiers.
