Description

(S)-3,7-Dimethyl-1,6-Octadien-3-Ol is a high-purity, optically active monoterpene alcohol, commonly known as (S)-Linalool. This compound is valued for its distinct, pleasant floral-woody aroma and its role as a versatile chiral building block in fine chemical synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to create enantiomerically pure products. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for global B2B partners.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A key chiral ingredient for creating sophisticated, high-value perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings, where the specific (S)-enantiomer imparts a unique scent profile.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a critical chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and vitamins.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral pesticides and herbicides, where stereochemistry can significantly impact biological activity.
• Fine Chemicals & Research: Employed in asymmetric synthesis and as a standard in analytical chemistry for method development and calibration.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness Products: Incorporated into premium essential oil blends and therapeutic products for its specific aromatic qualities.
