(4Z,7Z)-4,7-Decadien-1-ol(CAS#104188-11-6)

(4Z,7Z)-decadien-1-ol, chemical formula C10H20O, is an unsaturated long-chain fatty alcohol with a geometric isomer with two double bonds located at carbon atoms 4 and 7. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor.(4Z,7Z)-decadiene-1-ol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and other biological activities in vitro. It can be used in the preparation of cosmetics and fragrances, and is commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier and lubricant. In addition, it can also be used to synthesize other organic compounds, such as ethers, esters, aldehydes and amines.

The process for preparing (4Z,7Z)-decadien-1-ol is generally obtained by oxidation of fatty alcohols. A common method is the oxidation of decadiene to decadialdehyde, followed by a reduction reaction to obtain the desired product.

Regarding safety information,(4Z,7Z)-decadiene-1-ol should be protected from light and avoid contact with strong oxidants. During handling, appropriate protective equipment should be worn to avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of discomfort or accidental contact, rinse immediately with water and seek medical help. Observe the relevant safety practices during use, storage and handling.

Application
(4Z,7Z)-4,7-Decadien-1-ol (also known as (Z,Z)-4,7-Decadienol) is a naturally occurring alkenic primary alcohol with two cis-configured double bonds found in Acorus calamus (sweet flag) and as a volatile component in orchid aromas. It is widely utilized as a high-impact fragrance ingredient in fine perfumery, cosmetics, soaps, and household products, imparting a unique green-floral and fatty note that adds freshness and complexity to compositions. In the flavor industry, it is used as a flavoring substance to enhance creamy, waxy, and tropical fruit profiles in beverages, baked goods, and confectionery. As an insect semiochemical, (4Z,7Z)-4,7-Decadien-1-ol is a key pheromone component of the lesser date moth (Batrachedra amydraula), making it a valuable research reagent for pest monitoring and ecological studies. Furthermore, this unsaturated fatty alcohol exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer activities in vitro, positioning it as a promising cosmetic and pharmaceutical intermediate for skincare formulations. It also serves as a versatile organic building block for the synthesis of ethers, esters, aldehydes, and amines.
