6,10,14-Hexadecatrien-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, (E,E)-

Description:

6,10,14-Hexadecatrien-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, (E,E)-, also known by its CAS number 51606-80-5, is a long-chain unsaturated alcohol characterized by its specific structural features. This compound contains a linear carbon chain of 16 carbon atoms with three double bonds located at the 6th, 10th, and 14th positions, all in the trans (E) configuration. The presence of four methyl groups at the 3rd, 7th, 11th, and 15th positions contributes to its branched structure, influencing its physical and chemical properties. As an unsaturated alcohol, it exhibits reactivity typical of both alcohols and alkenes, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including oxidation and polymerization. Its hydrophobic nature, due to the long carbon chain, suggests limited solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. This compound may be of interest in fields such as organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, and potentially in biological applications, given its structural complexity and functional groups.

all-trans-Geranyl Citronellol

Controlled Product

CAS: 51606-80-5

Applications all-trans-Geranyl Citronellol, can be used for the synthesis of Glucosylphosphoryldolichol (Glc-P-Dol) , acting as a glucosyl donor. It is also a Dolichol, which are a group of compounds responsible for co-translational modification of proteins known as N-glycosylation in the form of dolichol phosphate. Dolichols has also been suggested to be used as a biomarker for aging.
