Description

δ2-Cis Eicosenoic Acid is a high-purity, monounsaturated C20 fatty acid characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the δ2 position. This unique structural feature makes it a valuable intermediate and building block for advanced organic synthesis and fine chemical production. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop novel compounds with targeted biological or physical properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, prostaglandin analogs, and other complex therapeutic agents.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators that leverage its specific fatty acid chain.
• Lipid Biochemistry Studies: Serves as a standard or probe in metabolic pathway research, enzyme studies (e.g., desaturase activity), and membrane biophysics.
• Specialty Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or modifier for creating polymers with specific flexibility, hydrophobicity, or biocompatibility.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: A potential raw material for synthesizing esters or derivatives used in high-end skincare formulations.
• Nutritional & Dietary Supplement Research: Investigated for its role and effects as a less-common, long-chain fatty acid in nutritional science.

Quality Control

Our δ2-Cis Eicosenoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and impurities is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon). Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong bases.
