10-Undecynoic acid may be employed as a biochemical probe in an assay for the microsomal hydroxylation of lauric acid (LA), based on HPLC with flow-through radiochemical detection. It was employed as model compound to investigate the microwave assisted surface click reactions catalyzed with Cu(II)/sodium L-ascorbate. It is reported as highly selective irreversible inhibitor of hepatic ω- and ω-1-lauric acid hydroxylases.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
