Description

2-Ethylfenchol (CAS NO 137255-07-3) is a high-purity synthetic fragrance and flavor intermediate prized for its unique woody, earthy, and slightly camphoraceous aroma profile. This compound is essential for creating sophisticated and stable scent accords in fine perfumery and enhancing flavor complexity in food and beverage applications. It is a critical raw material for R&D and production teams in the fragrance, flavor, food, and cosmetic industries seeking to innovate with high-quality, consistent ingredients.

Application

• Fine Fragrance & Perfumery: Used as a key building block in woody, chypre, and fougère fragrance compositions for perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.
• Flavor Creation: Employed as a flavoring agent to impart earthy, woody, and herbal notes in beverages, confectionery, and savory food products.
• Cosmetic & Toiletry Formulations: Incorporated into soaps, lotions, shampoos, and other cosmetic products for its stable and long-lasting scent characteristics.
• Household & Industrial Products: Serves as a fragrance component in detergents, fabric softeners, air fresheners, and cleaning agents.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals and pharmaceutical compounds.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Utilized in essential oil blends and diffuser products for its grounding and natural aromatic properties.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylfenchol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for fragrance, flavor, and cosmetic applications. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques (GC, GC-MS, IR) to verify identity, purity, and olfactory profile. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, chiral purity, and impurity limits is provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industry standards including IFRA, FEMA, and ISO guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) in a sealed container. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
