(4Z,7Z)-Deca-4,7-dien-1-ol

CAS 104188-11-6, (4Z,7Z)-Deca-4,7-dien-1-ol, is a hydroxyl-bearing building block of formula C10H18O and 154.25 g/mol.

Hydroxyl groups at this position are often carried unprotected through two or three steps, which makes the water content of the lot more important than a headline assay. The name fixes the geometry at C4, C7, so the entry is a defined isomer rather than a mixture and the lot is qualified on that isomer. More than one double bond means the isomer pattern, not the chain length, is what the downstream separation has to resolve.

The formula C10H18O resolves to 10 carbons with one oxygen. At 10 carbons the entry is an oil or a low-melting solid, and it is handled at ambient temperature in most steps.

Handling and storage

Store closed and dry. Water content is the value that drifts on an opened container, more than the assay does.

Ordering

Quoted from stock in 1kg / 25kg / 100kg, or made to order where the lot has run down. Either way the same release testing applies. Where a specification has to be met on paper before shipment, it is agreed in writing and the lot is qualified against it rather than against the catalogue text.
