Description

(+)-Fenchol CAS NO 2217-02-9 is a high-purity, naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpenoid alcohol, valued for its characteristic woody, camphoraceous aroma with earthy and pine-like nuances. This chiral compound is essential for creating sophisticated and natural olfactory profiles in fine fragrances and flavor compositions. It serves as a key intermediate and building block in organic synthesis for the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where its defined stereochemistry is critical for product performance.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A premium aromatic ingredient for perfumes, cosmetics, personal care products, and high-end flavorings for food and beverages.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used as a chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reference standard and reagent in organic chemistry research, catalysis studies, and method development.
• Specialty Chemicals: Employed in the manufacture of plasticizers, resins, and other fine chemicals where its specific structure imparts desired properties.
