    10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid CAS 1679-53-4

    10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid (CAS 1679-53-4) is a specialized omega-hydroxy fatty acid functioning as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds and synthetic musk fragrances. Chemically identified as 10-Hydroxycapric acid, this white crystalline solid acts as a key monomer building block for biocompatible polyesters and a precursor for bio-active pheromone analogs. As a linear Omega-hydroxy acid found naturally in royal jelly, it is widely utilized in organic synthesis to introduce a terminal hydroxyl group into long-chain molecular structures for fine chemical manufacturing. We ensure bulk supply capabilities for this material, providing access to competitive factory pricing and customized specifications to meet specific purity and melting point requirements. Full technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is available to support compliance and safety protocols.
