Description

(+)-Isopulegol CAS NO 104870-56-6 is a high-purity, chiral monoterpenoid alcohol valued for its distinct minty, cooling organoleptic profile and its role as a versatile chiral building block in organic synthesis. Its stereochemical purity is critical for applications requiring specific sensory characteristics or enantioselective chemical transformations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical industries seeking a reliable source of a key chiral intermediate.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key chiral ingredient for creating sophisticated mint, herbal, and cooling notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and oral care products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a critical chiral precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including antiviral agents and other therapeutic compounds.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a versatile chiral starting material or resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis research.
• Agrochemicals: Employed in the development of chiral pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry impacts biological activity.
• Natural Product Synthesis: A valuable building block for the laboratory synthesis of complex natural products and terpenoids.
• Functional Fluids & Additives: Investigated for use in specialty lubricants and cooling agents due to its structural properties.

Quality Control

Our (+)-Isopulegol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic and sensory applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve quality and enantiomeric purity.
