Product Technical Details

Product Overview

1,9-Decadiene is a linear aliphatic diene with the molecular formula C10H18 and a molecular weight of 138.25 g/mol. This colorless transparent liquid serves as a critical building block in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis due to its two terminal olefinic functionalities, which enable diverse reactivity in cross-coupling, metathesis, and polymerization reactions.

Industrial Applications

As a specialty hydrocarbon intermediate, 1,9-Decadiene is primarily employed in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and functional polymers. Its symmetrical structure and reactive terminal double bonds make it ideal for ring-closing metathesis (RCM), acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization, and as a precursor in the preparation of bifunctional linkers and macrocyclic scaffolds.

  • Key raw material for advanced organic synthesis routes
  • Enables precise molecular architecture in polymer chemistry
  • Suitable for GMP-compliant pharmaceutical intermediate production
  • Compatible with transition-metal catalyzed transformations

Handling and Storage

Store under an inert, dry atmosphere in a tightly sealed container. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames due to its flammable nature (flash point: 107 °F). Standard industrial hygiene practices should be followed during handling.
