Overview of 1-Dodecanenitrile

1-Dodecanenitrile (C₁₂H₂₃N) is an organic nitrile compound. It is a colorless to pale-yellow liquid with a soft, waxy, and slightly fatty aroma. The compound is stable, easy to handle, and widely used in fragrance, cosmetics, and industrial formulations. This compound serves as a key intermediate in producing amides, amines, and long-chain fatty derivatives, making it valuable for applications in cosmetics, perfumery, and specialty chemicals. Because of its long-chain structure, 1-Dodecanenitrile provides a smooth, warm, and musky base tone, similar to synthetic musks like Muskolide.

Applications of 1-Dodecanenitrile

Fragrance & Perfumery

1-Dodecanenitrile is used for its soft, musky, and slightly floral scent that enhances fragrance depth and longevity. Perfumers use it in fine perfumes and detergents. It blends well with Cedryl Acetate, Amyl Salicylate, and Gamma-Terpineol to create balanced, long-lasting aroma compositions.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Commonly used in lotions, creams, shampoos, and deodorants, it adds a warm, pleasant scent and acts as a fragrance fixative. When combined with Alpha-Ambrinol or Lilybelle, it helps retain fragrance on the skin for longer durations.

Industrial & Chemical Applications

1-Dodecanenitrile functions as a chemical intermediate for producing surfactants, lubricants, and polymers. It is also used in research and R&D alongside 2-Heptylcyclopentanone and Methyl Nonyl Ketone in synthetic chemistry to develop new compounds with enhanced performance and aroma profiles.

Flavor & Food Additive Research

While not a direct food ingredient, it is used in flavor precursor studies to simulate natural fatty or creamy notes in aroma R&D laboratories.

Safety & Handling Guidelines 

• Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

• Use protective gloves, goggles, and clothing when handling the liquid.

• Avoid inhalation and prolonged skin contact.

• Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain purity and prevent oxidation.
