Abietic Acid (CAS 514-10-3)

99%

Abietic acid is a white, resinous powder derived from rosin. The process involves distilling rosin, steaming out the residual turpentine oil, filtering it at around 210°C, and then cooling and crystallizing to obtain the final product. This acid is widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in various other applications, including as a pesticide emulsifier, textile sizing agent, construction material lubricant, plasticizer for plastics and rubber, and a paint drier.

  • used as a starting material in the total synthesis of:
    1. (−)-triptonide and (−)-triptolide as potent antitumor and immunosuppressant agents;
    2. quinone (−)-12-deoxyroyleanone as antileishmanial agent;
    3. abietic acid-derived catechol (methyl 11,12-dihydroxyabietate-8,11,13-trien-18-oate, MDTO) as a potential antioxidant agent;
    4. Epoxidation with MCPBA.
  • used as surfactant and emulsion stabilizer in cosmetics
  • used as polymerization emulsifier for styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber after sodium hydroxide saponification. It also can be used as rubber plasticizer, adhesive, high-grade paper on the adhesive and gum ingredients.
