Application

Dimethyl Sebacate is a versatile chemical substance serving several key industrial and biochemical purposes. With its characteristics as a colorless liquid or crystal, and a pleasant mild-ethereal-fruity scent, it is primarily used as a plasticizer in various applications. Its structure as a fatty acid methyl ester derived from sebacic acid, featuring methoxycarbonyl groups, allows for its diverse functionality. Dimethyl Sebacate is used in the biosynthesis of oligomeric sebacates for lubricant oils and as a starting material for synthesizing polytetramethylene sebacate. Furthermore, it is employed in the cyclization of N-Succinylglycine dimethyl ester and in the transesterification with 2-ethylhexanol to produce bis(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate, which is important for petroleum-based lubricants. Additionally, it aids in the synthesis of decanedihydrazide, a precursor for thermoplastic polyurethanes.
