9-DECENOIC ACID METHYL ESTER(CAS#25601-41-6)

Introduction

Methyl 9-DEC enoate, also known as dec-9-enoate methyl ester, is an organic compound. The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information:

Nature:

The chemical formula of 9-DEC enoic acid methyl ester is C11H20O2, it is a colorless liquid with a special smell. Its density is low, with a density of about 0.86 g/mL. It can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

Use:

Methyl 9-DEC enoate has some important applications in industry. It is often used as a raw material for coatings, inks and plastic additives. It can be used as a coating in the electronics industry to provide protective and insulating properties. In addition, it can also be used as an ingredient in the formulation of antioxidants and stabilizers.

Preparation Method:

One method for preparing methyl 9-DEC enoate is by esterification. Decanoic acid (C10H20O2) can be reacted with methanol (CH3OH) in the presence of an acidic catalyst. Under appropriate temperature and reaction conditions, the reaction can produce 9-DEC enoic acid methyl ester.

Safety Information:

When using and handling 9-DEC enoic acid methyl ester, it is necessary to pay attention to its safety. It is flammable liquid, avoid contact with fire sources. Contact may cause irritation to the skin and eyes, so direct contact needs to be avoided. Appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, should be worn during operation. Adequate ventilation and the use of suitable precautions shall be provided where necessary to ensure safe use. Any leakage should be cleaned up and dealt with immediately to avoid the occurrence of environmental and personal injury.

Application
Methyl 9-decenoate (CAS 25601-41-6) is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester with a terminal double bond. It is widely used as a flavoring agent (FEMA 3976) to impart fruity, waxy, and fatty notes to beverages, baked goods, confectionery, and dairy products. In polymer chemistry, it serves as a renewable monomer for the synthesis of functional polyesters, polyamides, and lubricant additives via metathesis, thiol-ene, or free-radical polymerization. It is also employed as a chemical intermediate in the production of surfactants, plasticizers, and agrochemicals. Its low viscosity and biodegradability make it a valuable solvent or coalescing agent in coatings and inks. Additionally, it is used in organic synthesis for cross-coupling reactions and as a reference standard for fatty acid analysis.
