3-Heptylacrolein

Product Overview

3-Heptylacrolein, widely known in professional chemical nomenclature as trans-2-Decenal, stands as a pivotal organic compound within the global flavor and fragrance industry. This unsaturated aldehyde is distinguished by its unique molecular architecture, which delivers specific olfactory characteristics highly sought after by perfumers and flavorists alike. As a leading manufacturer with decades of experience, we are committed to supplying this essential intermediate with uncompromising quality standards. Our production processes are designed to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, providing our partners with the reliability needed for large-scale commercial manufacturing.

The chemical identity of this product extends beyond its primary name. It is frequently referenced in technical literature and supply chains under various synonyms, including 2-trans-decenal and (E)-2-Decenal. Understanding these aliases is crucial for procurement specialists managing complex inventory systems. The trans-configuration of the double bond at the second position is critical for its sensory profile and reactivity. Our quality control laboratories verify this stereochemistry rigorously to guarantee that the material performs exactly as expected in your formulations.

Industrial Applications

The primary application domain for 3-Heptylacrolein lies in the creation of sophisticated flavor and fragrance compositions. In perfumery, it contributes fatty, waxy, and fruity nuances that enhance the depth of floral and citrus accords. It is particularly effective in formulations designed to mimic natural orange, lemon, and other citrus oils. Furthermore, its utility extends into the realm of organic synthesis, where it serves as a versatile building block. Chemical engineers utilize this intermediate to construct more complex molecules required for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, although its primary market remains consumer goods.

Beyond direct formulation, this compound is valued for its stability and compatibility with other common fragrance ingredients. It blends seamlessly with alcohols, esters, and other aldehydes, allowing formulators to create stable and long-lasting products. For research and development teams, having access to high-purity material is essential for accurate benchmarking and performance testing. Our supply chain is optimized to deliver this material promptly to laboratories and production facilities worldwide.

Storage and Handling

Maintaining the chemical integrity of aldehydes requires careful attention to storage conditions. We advise storing 3-Heptylacrolein in a cool, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and sources of heat. The container should remain tightly sealed when not in use to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Our standard packaging consists of 200 kg drums, which are designed for safe transport and handling. However, we understand that logistical needs vary, and we offer customized packaging solutions upon request to suit specific operational requirements.

Safety is our top priority. All shipments are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis and relevant Safety Data Sheets. Our team is available to provide technical support regarding handling procedures and regulatory compliance in your specific region. By choosing our facility as your partner, you gain access to a robust supply chain backed by twenty years of industry expertise.
