Overview
Undecylenic Alcohol also known as 10-undecen-1-ol is an alkenyl alcohol terminated by a hydroxy group.
It is a derivative of Undecylenic Acid which is obtained by castor oil cracking.
It is a colourless liquid with a pleasant odour and hence it is a common ingredient in flavours and fragrances.
Uses of Undecylenic Alcohol
- 10-undecen-1-ol is used in synthesis of many flavours and fragrances such as fresh, floral (rose), and citrus.
- It is used to produce β-cyclodextrin undecenyl ether which is used to reduce cholesterol from milk.
- It reacts with carbon monoxide in the presence of dicobalt octacarbonyl and pyridine as a base to produce polyesters which are biodegradable and are suitable for the production of films, fibres and mouldings.
- Undecylenic Alcohol is reacted with mercaptoethanol for the synthesis of thermoplastic polyesters.
