Description

Myrtenal,(+)-(1S)-6,6-Dimethyl-Bicyclo[3.1.1]Hept-2-Ene-2-Carboxaldehyde is a high-purity, optically active monoterpenoid aldehyde valued for its distinct aromatic profile and role as a versatile chiral building block. This compound is essential for industries requiring precise stereochemistry and natural product synthesis. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical intermediates sectors.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a key aromatic component in fine perfumery and flavor formulations for its fresh, woody, and slightly minty notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex natural products.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the research and development of novel pesticides and herbicides due to its bioactive terpene structure.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: Acts as a valuable starting material or reagent in academic and industrial organic chemistry for exploring new synthetic methodologies.
• Natural Product Isolation Standard: Used as a reference standard in analytical laboratories for the identification and quantification of terpenoids.
