Description

7-Octen-2-One, 6-Methyl-, (S)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, chiral flavor and fragrance intermediate with a distinct, fruity-green olfactory character. This compound matters for its role in creating sophisticated, natural-identical aroma profiles and as a valuable building block in asymmetric organic synthesis. It is needed by flavor and fragrance houses, fine chemical manufacturers, and research institutions focused on developing new organoleptic compounds or chiral pharmaceuticals.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key intermediate for synthesizing complex, natural-identical aroma molecules with fruity, green, or citrus notes.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Utilized as a chiral building block or starting material in the production of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and a versatile synthon in academic and industrial R&D for novel organic compounds.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of specialty chemicals requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Perfumery: Used in the creation of high-end fragrance compositions, contributing to fresh, top-note accords.
