Dimethyl azelate CAS 1732-10-1 C11H20O4
Dimethyl Azelate is a multifunctional organic compound, not a typical catalyst, and is mainly used as a plasticizer and organic synthesis intermediate. In industry, it plays more of an "auxiliary agent" role (such as plasticizer, solvent) rather than directly participating in catalytic reactions. Its main uses include applications in organic synthesis and aviation, such as engine lubricants, precision instrument oils, engine oils, etc.

Dimethyl Azelate itself is not a typical catalyst, but a multifunctional organic compound, mainly used as a plasticizer and organic synthesis intermediate. It plays more of an "auxiliary agent" role (such as plasticizer, solvent) in industry, rather than directly participating in catalytic reactions. Dimethyl Azelate is widely used in industries such as plastics, rubber, resin, paint and ink. It can be obtained by esterification of azelaic acid or reduction of 5-keto-azelaic acid.
I. Mainly used as a cold-resistant plasticizer
Improve the low-temperature toughness of PVC products:
Used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable insulation layer, automotive sealing strips, artificial leather, etc., so that it remains flexible below -30°C and avoids low-temperature brittle cracking.
Improve the performance of synthetic rubber:
Added to nitrile rubber (NBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR), it enhances the impact resistance and ductility of elastomers in cold environments.
II. As a key intermediate in organic synthesis
Synthetic high-performance plasticizer:
Dioctyl azelaic acid (DOZ) is prepared through ester exchange reaction with octanol/isooctanol (titanium ester catalyst is required), which is used in high-end medical devices and food packaging films (migration resistance and high temperature resistance).
Preparation of synthetic lubricants:
Synthetic ester base oils are used in aircraft engine lubricants and precision machinery oils (excellent low-temperature fluidity and no solidification at -50°C).
Synthetic fragrances and surfactants:
After hydrolysis to azelaic acid, it is used as a precursor for synthetic musk fragrances (such as cyclopentadecalactone); it can also be derived into biodegradable surfactants.
III. Function of auxiliary additives
Environmentally friendly solvents/co-solvents:
Replace phthalate solvents in coatings and inks to reduce toxicity and improve resin solubility.
Lubricant additives:
Added to metalworking fluids or greases to improve high temperature stability and low temperature lubrication performance.
Cosmetic emollient carrier (high-purity refined products):
As an ester emollient component in skin care products, it enhances ductility (less used and requires strict purification).
Safety Description: Do not inhale vapor, avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage Conditions: Store in a dry and sealed container.
Handling Recommendations: When handling dimethyl azelaic acid, avoid inhaling vapor, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and wear appropriate protective equipment during operation.
