Description

(+)-Cuparene CAS NO 16982-00-6 is a specific enantiomer of the naturally occurring sesquiterpene hydrocarbon cuparene, characterized by its distinct woody, amber-like aroma. This compound is highly valued as a key intermediate and building block in the synthesis of complex fragrance molecules and fine chemicals. It is essential for research and development laboratories, as well as manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical intermediates, and organic synthesis sectors seeking high-purity chiral starting materials.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of high-value aroma chemicals with woody, ambery, or earthy olfactory notes.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a chiral building block or reference standard in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and medicinal chemistry studies.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile starting material or intermediate for synthesizing complex natural products and specialty organic compounds in academic and industrial R&D.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) in gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for quality control and analytical method development.
• Fine Chemical Production: Utilized in the manufacture of specialty chemicals where specific stereochemistry is required for desired product performance.
