EC / List no.: 208-011-4
CAS no.: 505-52-2

Brassylic acid is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid that is undecane substituted by carboxylic acid groups at positions C-1 and C-11. 
Brassylic acid has a role as a metabolite.

Brassylic acid is a chemical compound used in a wide range of applications through different industries. 

Brassylic acid is primarily used for the synthesis of fragrances and is a potential alternative for polycyclic acid as it is an easily degradable chemical compound. 
Polycyclic mush, which is commonly used for synthesis of fragrances face ecological challenges as they are not environmentally friendly. 
To overcome these challenges, brassylic acid is used for the synthesis of macrocyclic musk i.e. fragrances.

Brassylic acid comes from the family of long-chain dicarboxylic acids. 
Brassylic acid is naturally occurring in animal tissues and plants. 
When carbon molecules, 24 hydrogen molecules and 4 oxygen molecules come together, they form brassylic acid and its chemical formula is C13H24O4. 
The carboxyl group shows traditional chemical applications useful in a variety of industrial sectors. 
Brassylic acid like most other Dicarboxyl acids can produce two kinds of salts because it contains two carboxylic groups. 
Brassylic acid is a white crystalline substance, slightly soluble in water, and has a melting point of 130 ° C. 
Brassylic acid is used in polymers, biological solvents, lubricants, and perfumeries plasticizer production. Brassylic acid is used to manufacture plastics such as nylon-1313 as an intermediate.

The carboxylic acids produce an almost infinite number of esters. 
Esters are formulated by acid and alcohol and the removal of water, as for a variety of direct and indirect applications, carboxylic acid esters are used. 
Lower chain esters are used as the base, plasticizers, solvent transmitters, and coupling agents for flavouring.
Higher chain compounds are employed to generate a broad range of target compounds and are used as components in metal working fluids, surfactants, lubricants, detergents, petroleum agents, emulsifiers, weathering agents textile processing, and emollients. 
The infinite number of esters give a wide range of specific gravity, boiling point, viscosity, vapor pressure, and other chemical and physical properties for proper selection of applications.

Applications of Brassylic Acid.
Brassylic acid is very useful in a wide variety of industrial applications, some of the uses of brassylic acid are listed below:

Plasticizer for polymers
Engineering plastics
Adhesive and powder coating
Perfumery and pharmaceutical
Biodegradable solvents and lubricants
Epoxy curing agent
Corrosion inhibitor
Electrolyte
Long-chain dibasic acids are more flexible and stronger than short-chain dibasic acids because their bending ability minimizes breakage and reduces polymer bonds. 
Bioprocesses are used to produce a wide range of high-quality long-chain dibasic acid. 
dibasic acids are produced by paraffin fermentation followed by purification, instead of the conventional multi-stage chemical process. 
A sustainable feedstock is already undergoing research production of some dibasic acids from fatty acids. 
This advancement in technology will allow renewable features of many marketed products to be introduced.

The growth and development of the perfume and fragrance industry, emerging market of brassylic acid along with its applications like PVC and plasticizers clubbed with the use of the regenerating feedstocks, is expected to increase market growth in brassylic acid significantly. 
Advanced technical applications of brassylic acid are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the lubricant industry, adhesive industry, and plastics industry. 
That being said, the adverse effects of brassylic acid and the substitutes available in the market for consumers are likely to hinder the exponential rise of the brassylic acid market.

The global production of brassylic acid for perfumes is currently higher than any other acid and is expected to be the same for the coming years. 
Nevertheless, other forms of musk compounds are available for use in the market, including nitro musk compounds and polycyclic musk compounds. 
Brassylic acid is predicted that this competition will be the central issue that will restrain market growth. Because of the increased availability of sources of renewable raw materials like vegetable oil, brassylic acid consumption is the highest in Europe.

According to a report by Research Dive, Europe is currently the highest contributor to cash flow among all the regions studied and is anticipated to keep up its dominance and lead over the projected timeline, accompanied by the Asia Pacific and North America.

Brassylic acid is a versatile chemical intermediate. 
Brassylic acids were first created in the nineteenth century by oxidative ozonolysis of erucic acid. 
Brassylic acid is a dibasic acid, which is available in the market in the form of flakes, powder or in diluted form. 
Brassylic acid belongs to the family of organic compounds called long-chain dicarboxylic acid.

The esters of brassylic acid are used as low-temperature plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride. 
Moreover, esters of brassylic acid are used as lubricants which are used at a wide range of temperatures and are extensively utilized to manufacture synthetic musk. 
Commercially, brassylic acid serves as a monomer of dicarboxylic acid for the production of polyamides such as nylon 613 and nylon 1313.

The demand for brassylic acid is expected to increase over the forecast period, owing to rising applications of brassylic acid in various end-use industries such as fragrances & perfumes, lubricants, and adhesives coupled with important use in the formation of polyurethanes, alkyd resins, and polyamides. 
Moreover, it is used as monomers for certain co-polymers such as nylon 13,13.

Various diesters of brassylic acid are incorporated into PVC and are used as plasticizers. 
These derivatives of brassylic acid possess property to remain stable at low temperature conditions. 
Di-cyclohexyl brassylate (a derivative of brassylic acid) has properties similar to those shown by bis-3-ethylhexyl pthalate, which is the most widely used plasticizer in moderate temperature applications.

Moreover, nylon that is manufactured with brassylic acid have low moisture absorption capability, which are suitable for applications that require toughness, retention of strength, abrasion resistance and electrical properties under changing climatic conditions. 
Furthermore, the properties of nylon 1313 which is manufactured using brassylic acid is similar to that of the commercially produced polyamides such as nylon 11, 12, 610, and 612.
