Description

Isodihydrocarveol,2-Methyl-5-(1-Methylethenyl)-Cyclohexanol,p-Menth-8-En-2-Ol CAS NO 18675-35-9 is a monoterpenoid alcohol, specifically a derivative of carveol, valued for its characteristic minty, herbal, and slightly woody organoleptic profile. This compound matters as a versatile chiral intermediate and a key building block in the synthesis of more complex fragrance and flavor molecules, offering a natural and refined olfactory character. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and fine chemical industries seeking to create sophisticated aromatic compositions or bioactive compounds.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Serves as a key ingredient and intermediate for creating minty, herbal, and woody notes in perfumes, cosmetics, personal care products, and food flavorings.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a valuable chiral building block for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Used in the synthesis and modification of other terpene-based aroma chemicals like menthol derivatives, contributing to complexity and naturalness in final blends.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying terpene chemistry, olfactory receptors, and the development of new synthetic methodologies.
• Functional Fluids & Solvents: Potential application as a component or precursor in high-performance, bio-based solvents and functional fluids due to its terpene structure.
