CAS Number: 80-59-1
Tiglic Acid is a naturally occurring mono-unsaturated short-chain carboxylic acid found in croton oil and various plant essential oils, used as a chemical intermediate and flavour/fragrance ingredient. In agrochemical research, it serves as a biosynthetic precursor and reference compound in studies of plant allelochemicals and natural pest deterrents. AB Enterprises supplies high-purity Tiglic Acid to fragrance manufacturers, crop protection researchers, and specialty chemical producers requiring a well-characterised natural acid intermediate. Its trans-alkene configuration provides characteristic reactivity useful in synthesis of ester derivatives with biological activity. The compound is also studied for its role in plant defence chemistry and induced systemic resistance mechanisms.
