Collection: Linear Alkyl Sources [Material Building Blocks]
Linear Alkyl Sources [Material Building Blocks] — contains straight-chain fatty acids, alkyl halides, and alkylamines with long carbon chains that serve as building blocks for introducing hydrophobic alkyl groups into a molecule. These compounds are a source of alkyl chains for modifying the solubility and surface properties of materials.
Linear Alkyl Sources are used by materials researchers and organic chemists for the synthesis of surfactants, alkylation of aromatic or heteroatom compounds, and the formation of self-assembled monolayers. Fatty acids such as stearic acid and palmitic acid are also used as model lipid chains in soft materials research and in formulations based on long-chain alkyl groups.
Example products in this collection: TCI S0163 57-11-4 Stearic Acid, TCI C0142 109-69-3 1-Chlorobutane, TCI M0476 544-63-8 Myristic Acid, TCI C0163 112-52-7 1-Chlorododecane, TCI P1145 57-10-3 Palmitic Acid, TCI C0182 629-06-1 1-Chloroheptane, TCI A0445 110-58-7 Amylamine, TCI C0183 4860-03-1 1-Chlorohexadecane.
Pay attention to the carbon chain length, purity, and physical form of the compounds (solid or liquid), since these determine ease of handling and suitability for the planned alkylation reaction. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
