Description

(+)-trans-Myrtanol CAS NO 132203-71-5 is a high-purity, optically active monoterpene alcohol characterized by its distinct woody, fresh, and slightly camphoraceous aroma. This compound matters as a versatile chiral building block and fragrance ingredient, prized for its stereochemical purity which is critical for advanced organic synthesis and high-end flavor & fragrance formulations. It is needed by research institutions, pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturers, and specialty chemical producers focused on terpene chemistry, as well as by perfumers and flavorists seeking unique, natural-character odor profiles.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: As a key ingredient in fine perfumery for creating fresh, woody, and herbaceous top notes, and in flavor compositions for herbal nuances.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral synthon in the asymmetric synthesis of complex molecules for drug discovery and development.
• Organic Synthesis: Used as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of other terpenoids, aroma chemicals, and fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigated as a precursor or active component in the development of new bioactive compounds.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Employed as a standard or reagent in studies involving terpene metabolism, catalysis, and stereoselective reactions.

Quality Control

Our (+)-trans-Myrtanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

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