  • Applications

    (2Z)-2-Decene (CAS 20348-51-0) is a cis internal olefin that serves as a versatile feedstock and intermediate in multiple industrial pathways. It is used as a raw material for surfactant precursors, including alkyl sulfonates for detergents and household cleaners. It can be transformed via oxidation or hydroformylation into fragrance and specialty chemical intermediates such as aldehydes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. It also supports lubricant formulation through conversion to base stocks or additives, and can be further functionalized or polymerized to yield specialty polymers or copolymers. In formulation contexts, it may function as a nonpolar hydrocarbon component or reactive diluent, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
