Heptadecan-9-ol - CAS: 624-08-8
RNA Delivery Systems (Crucial LNP Intermediate): Acts as a primary precursor for synthesizing cutting-edge ionizable cationic lipids, which are the backbone molecules of clinical mRNA-LNP delivery systems. Its perfectly symmetrical hydrophobic tail optimizes cellular membrane fusion and endosomal escape kinetics, drastically improving the in vivo transfection efficiency of mRNA or siRNA therapeutics.
Organic Photovoltaics (OPV Modification): Used in flexible printed electronics and optoelectronic polymers as a structural side-chain engineering agent. It fine-tunes the balance between polymer solubility and molecular crystallinity, remarkably enhancing thin-film crystal regularity and carrier mobility.
Analytical Chemistry & Advanced Formulations: Due to its high physicochemical purity, it is widely utilized as a premium solubilizer in complex pharmaceutical formulations and as a reference standard/benchmark reagent in high-resolution chromatography and mass spectrometry.
Traditional catalog suppliers routinely offer this product only in minor gram quantities with high batch-to-batch variation, failing to secure stable industrial scale-up. Utilizing our mature hydrogenation systems and high-vacuum fractional distillation lines, we have successfully removed these bottlenecks. We proudly offer 97% high-purity stock with a reliable, continuous monthly capacity of 10kg to safeguard your enterprise scale-up and commercial production pipeline.
High Structural Cleanliness (Purity ≥ 97.0%): Refined via advanced localized distillation. Positional isomers, unrelated long-chain contaminants, and trace heavy metal ions are strictly restricted. This yields a highly consistent substrate that guarantees exceptional conversion yields in downstream esterifications or aminations, completely avoiding impurity-induced formulation failures or batch toxicities.
Stable Industrial Monthly Capacity (10kg/Month): We eliminate the market bottleneck of "erratic quality and minor gram-scale limits." Our scaled production infrastructure supports everything from rapid bulk sampling to continuous multi-kilogram commercial procurement.
Superior Lipid-Forming Properties: The dual C8 branched-like tails grant excellent fluidity, packing capability, and lipophilicity to resulting ionizable lipid molecules. LNPs formulated with its derivatives exhibit enhanced structural stability, lower yellowness index (Y.I.), and premium encapsulation efficiencies.
Rigorous Quality Control (QbD): Produced under rigid quality management structures. Every single commercial dispatch comes complete with a thorough testing booklet comprising a COA (Certificate of Analysis), GC-MS/HPLC (Purity Analysis), and high-resolution H-NMR charts for full regulatory and structural traceability.
