Description

6-Decenal,(Z)-6-Decenal CAS NO 105683-99-6 is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde characterized by its distinct, powerful green, waxy, and fatty odor profile. This compound matters as a key fragrance and flavor intermediate, prized for its ability to impart fresh, natural, and complex organoleptic notes. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, cosmetics, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking to create sophisticated, high-value end products.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A crucial building block for creating fresh, green, and citrusy top notes in perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used to impart waxy, fatty, and cucumber-like nuances in flavor compositions for beverages, confectionery, and savory applications.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Serves as a key odorant and intermediate in the production of specialty ingredients for lotions, creams, and soaps.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral intermediate or starting material in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Utilized in the manufacture of other complex aroma chemicals through reactions like hydrogenation or condensation.
• Functional Fluids & Lubricants: Potential intermediate in the synthesis of specialty polymers or additives for industrial fluids.
