Description

(-)-Carveol CAS NO 2102-59-2 is a high-purity, optically active monoterpenoid alcohol. This compound serves as a valuable chiral intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient, prized for its characteristic minty, herbaceous aroma. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking a reliable source of a specific enantiomer for advanced applications.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key chiral component in the creation of sophisticated mint, herb, and spice notes for perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used as a chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: An important starting material or intermediate in asymmetric synthesis and the production of other terpenoid derivatives.
• Agrochemicals: Employed in research and development for the synthesis of novel, biologically active compounds.
• Research & Development: A standard for analytical testing and a reagent in academic and industrial chemical research.
