Description

trans-Pulegone Oxide CAS NO 13080-28-9 is a high-purity, monoterpenoid epoxide derived from pulegone, a key constituent of essential oils. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in the synthesis of complex flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical molecules. It is primarily sought by flavor & fragrance houses, fine chemical manufacturers, and research institutions for its unique structural and olfactory properties.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: As a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-value aroma chemicals, contributing to minty, herbal, and camphoraceous notes.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized as a building block or precursor in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and for metabolic studies.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile chiral synthon in organic chemistry for constructing complex terpenoid structures and other specialty chemicals.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control, method validation, and regulatory compliance in related industries.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Potential use in the research and development of specialty agrochemicals and pheromones.
