Description
Methyl-2-trans-4-cis-decadienoate is an unsaturated methyl ester offered at min. 95 % as a mixture of isomers for chemical and biochemical laboratory work. It carries CAS number 4493-42-9 and the empirical formula C₁₁H₁₈O₂, with a molar mass of 182,26 g/mol. The isomeric mixture supports exploratory organic chemistry, flavour-related intermediate studies, and method development without requiring larger bulk quantities. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits research groups that need small, clearly specified ester building blocks. The stated minimum assay and molecular data allow straightforward calculation of molar amounts and reaction stoichiometry. Handle according to standard laboratory practice for organic esters and consult institutional safety procedures before use. Ideal for academic synthesis labs, specialty chemical screening, and fine-chemical intermediate preparation at research scale.

Questions about Methyl-2-trans-4-cis-decadienoate, min. 95 %, mixture of isomers, 250 mg
What is this article?
Methyl-2-trans-4-cis-decadienoate, min. 95 %, mixture of isomers, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
