Introduction
2-Methyldecanol. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information:Quality:- Appearance: 2-Methyldecanol is a colorless to yellowish liquid.- Solubility: It is soluble in many organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers and is insoluble in water.- Odor: It has a pungent odor.Use:- 2-Methyl decanol is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis for the synthesis of other compounds.Preparation method:- A common preparation method is the hydrogenation of octanaldehyde to obtain 2-methyldecanol, which typically uses reducing agents such as hydrogen and catalysts such as platinum or nickel.Safety Information:- 2-Methyldecanol is a flammable liquid that avoids contact with open flames and heat sources.- Avoid inhalation or skin-to-skin contact and use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles.- When using or storing, care should be taken to avoid reacting with strong oxidants and acids.- If you accidentally inhale or ingest it, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Application
2-Methyl-1-decanal (CAS 19009-56-4), also known as 2-methyldecanal, is a high-purity aliphatic aldehyde with a powerful, fresh, and waxy citrus odor complemented by green, floral, and slightly fatty undertones. In the flavor industry, it is used as a flavoring agent (FEMA 3890) to impart natural orange, mandarin, and other citrus nuances to beverages, baked goods, confectionery, dairy products, and chewing gum, typically at low concentrations. As a fragrance ingredient, it serves as a substantive top-to-middle note in fine perfumery, colognes, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, and household cleaners, adding freshness and complexity to citrus, floral, and aldehydic accords. Its excellent stability and diffusive properties make it a valuable modifier for aldehyde-type fragrances. Additionally, it functions as an intermediate in organic synthesis for the preparation of other specialty aroma chemicals and pharmaceutical building blocks.
