  • Applications

    9-Dodecenoic acid, methyl ester (CAS 39202-17-0) is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester that serves as a chemical intermediate and fragrance-related ingredient. In perfumery and cosmetics, it contributes fruity and green notes and can function as a fragrance component or odor carrier. It may be evaluated for flavor applications as an aroma compound in limited food-formulation contexts. In industrial manufacturing, it is used as a building block for further ester synthesis, plasticizer formulations, lubricants, or specialty esters, and may be used in coatings and inks as an odorant or processing aid. It can also be considered as a polymer formulation additive or a processing aid in cleaning and household products to introduce specific scent characteristics. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
