Main Applications: Widely used in the fields of flavorings and fragrances, surfactants, plasticizers, and industrial solvents.
Flavorings and Fragrances: Used to formulate fragrance types such as rose, orange blossom, and mimosa; also used in food flavorings (e.g., cream, citrus).
Personal Care Raw Materials: Served as surfactants, plasticizers, defoamers, and emulsifiers for use in cosmetics, shampoos, detergents, etc.
Industrial Applications: Manufacture of lubricant additives and adhesives; used as coating materials for polyvinyl chloride wires and plasticizers for artificial leather (e.g., DIDP, DIDA); employed as solvents or stabilizers for herbicides and insecticides in agriculture.
Food Additives: According to GB 2760—96, it is permitted for use as a food flavoring, but synthetic products are not allowed in food.

Synthesis Routes:
Natural Source Method: Using coconut oil as the raw material, it undergoes hydrogenation under high temperature and pressure in the presence of a mixed oxide catalyst, followed by vacuum fractionation and boric acid esterification to obtain the product.
Chemical Synthesis Methods:
Method One: Nonane is converted to nonanal via carbonylation, which is then reduced to nonanol and purified by distillation.
Method Two: Propylene polymerizes to form nonene in the presence of phosphoric acid or boron trifluoride, which then reacts with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the liquid phase for synthesis.
Method Three: Ethylene undergoes controlled polymerization, followed by hydrolysis and separation to obtain the product. (For reference only)
