  • Applications

    cis-5-Dodecenoic acid (CAS 2430-94-6) is an unsaturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon chain and a cis double bond at position 5. It is primarily used as a feedstock and intermediate in the oleochemical and polymer industries. In industry, it is used to prepare fatty acid esters and amides that function as surfactants, emulsifiers, or cosmetic ingredients; it can serve as a reactive building block for specialty polyesters and polyurethanes, and as a modifier or plasticizer in coatings and inks. It may also be employed in cleaning formulations as a surfactant precursor. Additionally, it can be transformed into other derivatives for synthesis of fragrance compounds, depending on formulation requirements and regulatory constraints.
