Description

Nopol CAS NO 128-50-7 is a versatile bicyclic terpene alcohol, specifically 6,6-dimethyl-2-methylidenebicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-3-ol, valued for its fresh, pine-like aroma and reactive chemical structure. Its primary commercial significance lies in its role as a key intermediate and building block for the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. This product is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking a reliable, high-purity raw material for their synthesis processes.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A crucial starting material for synthesizing high-value aroma chemicals like sandalwood odorants (e.g., Sandalore®) and other woody, ambery fragrance compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral building block in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides, leveraging its bicyclic structure for biological activity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in organic synthesis to create complex molecules for pharmaceuticals, specialty polymers, and other advanced materials.
• Solvent & Additive: Employed as a specialty solvent or a reactive diluent in specific industrial formulations due to its volatility and solvent properties.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D labs for exploring new synthetic routes and novel chemical entities.

Quality Control

Our Nopol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality control protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of our global customer base in the fragrance and specialty chemical sectors.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
