Description

Menthene CAS NO 1124-27-2 is a monocyclic monoterpene hydrocarbon, a key intermediate and building block in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its versatile structure, which serves as a precursor for a wide range of flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical compounds. This product is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the flavor & fragrance, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries seeking high-purity intermediates.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A crucial intermediate for the synthesis of menthol, menthone, and other minty or fresh aroma chemicals.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides where its terpene backbone is incorporated.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent for Diels-Alder reactions, hydrogenation studies, and the preparation of more complex terpenoid structures in academic and industrial R&D.
• Specialty Chemicals: Employed in the manufacture of high-value chemicals for cosmetics, personal care, and cleaning product formulations.

Quality Control

Our Menthene is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, GC-MS, and NMR for precise identification and quantification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific application requirements.

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 concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
