Description

Fenchol CAS NO 1632-73-1 is a naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpenoid alcohol, also known as fenchyl alcohol, prized for its fresh, camphoraceous, and pine-like woody aroma. This compound matters as a versatile and high-value organoleptic building block and chiral intermediate for the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries. Key buyers include manufacturers of fine fragrances, personal care products, food flavorings, and producers of specialty chemicals seeking a natural, renewable feedstock for synthesis.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A key ingredient for imparting fresh, woody, and earthy notes in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic formulations.
• Flavoring Agent: Used to create and enhance flavors in food and beverage products, contributing to complex flavor profiles.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a valuable chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: A constituent of various essential oils, used in blends for its refreshing and clarifying aromatic properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a precursor or reactant in organic synthesis for producing derivatives with modified functional groups.
• Industrial Deodorants: Utilized in air fresheners and industrial deodorizing products for its persistent and pleasant odor-masking capabilities.
