Description

11-α-Hydroxycarvenone is a functionalized monoterpenoid compound, specifically a hydroxylated derivative of carvenone. This molecule matters as a valuable chiral intermediate and building block in fine chemical synthesis, offering a defined stereocenter for the production of complex fragrances, flavors, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is needed by R&D chemists and production specialists in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as by pharmaceutical companies developing novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral precursor for the synthesis of novel, high-value aroma chemicals with minty, herbal, or woody notes.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a specialized building block in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), leveraging its stereochemistry.
• Agrochemical Research: Acts as a starting material or intermediate in the development of new bioactive compounds, such as pesticides or herbicides.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in asymmetric synthesis and other advanced organic chemistry methodologies to create complex, optically active molecules.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Utilized in chemical research for studying terpenoid chemistry, reaction pathways, and catalysis.
