Description

(R)-Linalyl Acetate CAS NO 16509-46-9 is a high-purity, optically active monoterpene ester valued for its distinct, refined floral-woody aroma profile. This specific enantiomer is critical for creating sophisticated and authentic fragrance compositions, offering superior olfactory characteristics compared to its racemic counterpart. It is an essential building block for perfumers and flavorists in the fragrance, personal care, and fine flavoring industries seeking to impart natural, high-quality sensory notes.

Application

• Fine Fragrance Formulation: A key chiral ingredient in premium perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes for its clean, floral-lavender scent with woody undertones.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in scented lotions, soaps, shampoos, and deodorants to provide a fresh, natural aroma.
• Flavor Enhancer: Employed in trace amounts to create complex, natural fruit and floral flavor profiles in gourmet foods and beverages.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness Products: Incorporated into essential oil blends and diffuser products for its purported calming and relaxing properties.
• Household & Industrial Fragrances: A component in air fresheners, detergents, and fabric softeners for long-lasting, pleasant odor masking and enhancement.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral intermediate or starting material in the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and fine chemicals.
