(Z)-11-Methyl-2-dodecenoic acid

(Z)-11-Methyl-2-dodecenoic acid (CAS 677354-23-3) is a C12 carboxylic acid used as a semiochemical component in lures, release-rate trials and reference work.

No target species is recorded against this material in our file, so it is catalogued as a blend component and reference material. If a specification needs species named, send the target and we will confirm whether this isomer is the right starting point.

Where it is used

This material sits in the working part of the catalogue: the compounds formulation teams ask for by CAS when a blend needs a specific isomer, a reference point for a chromatogram, or a small quantity to test before committing to a drum.

Isomer, stability and handling

Acids are hygroscopic and corrosive in concentrated form. Keep them away from amines and from any dispenser component that could be attacked by free acid.

Store cool, dry and dark: sealed under nitrogen or argon at −20 °C for holdings longer than one season, and let containers reach room temperature before opening so condensation does not enter the material. Weigh and formulate in a ventilated area; the safety data sheet gives handling detail for the neat substance.

Documentation and packing

Paperwork is deliberately boring: certificate of analysis with assay and isomer figures, GC trace, SDS and packing list. Nothing is quoted that cannot be reproduced on a rerun.

Standard packing for this line is 1kg / 25kg / 100kg, with smaller development quantities available so a blend can be trialled before a bulk order. Lead time is confirmed at quotation.
