Application
5-Heptylresorcinol (CAS 500-67-4) is a versatile phenolic lipid recognized for its potent antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-melanogenic properties. In the cosmetic industry, it is prized as a powerful skin-brightening agent and tyrosinase inhibitor for treating hyperpigmentation and age spots while protecting against oxidative stress. As a pharmaceutical intermediate, its key application is as a structural precursor in synthesizing high-value synthetic cannabinoids such as Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (Δ9-THCP), cannabidiphorol, and other THC homologs for research and forensic applications. Its unique alkylresorcinol structure also supports the development of antibiotics, antifungals, and anti-inflammatory APIs. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate for specialty chemicals and analytical standards. Xinchem offers high-purity 5-Heptylresorcinol with reliable global supply.
