  • Applications

    4-Methyldec-4-en-1-ol (CAS 58203-65-9) is an unsaturated long‑chain alcohol valued as a versatile intermediate, with typical applications including: flavors/fragrances (esterification, hydrogenation or oxidation to access related esters, aldehydes and alcohols with green, fatty or fruity nuances; a building block for certain C10–C12 insect‑pheromone motifs), surfactants (ethoxylation, propoxylation or sulfation of the hydroxyl group to obtain specialty wetting agents, emulsifiers and detergents), lubricants and polymers (esterification with fatty or multifunctional acids to produce lubricant esters, plasticizers, and friction‑reducing/cold‑flow‑improving additives), and materials/coatings (acrylate or urethane derivatization to serve as reactive diluents/monomers for UV/EB‑curable systems, leveraging the internal double bond for thiol–ene coupling or further epoxidation); it also finds use in organic‑synthesis research (hydroformylation, epoxidation, dihydroxylation) and as an analytical reference, and should be handled as a flammable, oxidation‑sensitive liquid stored tightly closed, protected from light and oxygen.
