Description

Methyl trans-2-Nonenoate is a high-purity unsaturated fatty acid ester with a distinctive, powerful green, waxy, and fatty odor profile. This compound is a key intermediate and fragrance ingredient valued for its ability to impart natural, fresh top notes in complex formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F), cosmetics, and specialty chemical synthesis industries seeking to create sophisticated, nature-identical scents and flavors. Our supply is characterized by consistent quality and reliable global availability to meet stringent production requirements.

Application

• Fragrance Compound: A crucial building block for creating and enhancing green, melon, cucumber, and fatty waxy notes in fine perfumes, personal care products, and air fresheners.
• Flavor Ingredient: Used to replicate or boost fresh, green, and fatty nuances in food and beverage flavorings, particularly for fruit and vegetable profiles.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated as a fragrance component in soaps, lotions, shampoos, and other toiletries for its fresh olfactory characteristics.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile organic intermediate for the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
• Household & Industrial Products: Utilized in detergents, fabric softeners, and cleaning agents to provide a pleasant, clean scent.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D laboratories for olfactory studies and the development of new synthetic pathways.
