Description

(1R-Cis)-3-(Isopropyl)-6-Methylcyclohex-2-En-1-Ol is a high-purity, chiral monoterpenoid alcohol with a distinct woody, pine-like aroma. This compound is valued for its specific stereochemistry, which is critical for applications requiring precise olfactory profiles or biological activity. It serves as a key intermediate and fragrance ingredient for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking consistent, high-quality chiral building blocks.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a chiral component in the synthesis of high-value perfumes, colognes, and fine fragrances for its woody, amber, and pine-like notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a chiral synthon in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where stereochemical purity is paramount.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides that utilize terpenoid structures.
• Aroma Chemical Production: A key material for creating complex aroma chemicals and modifying existing fragrance accords.
• Research & Development: Utilized in organic chemistry research, particularly in studies involving asymmetric synthesis and terpene chemistry.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed as a specialized intermediate for other high-value, low-volume fine chemicals.
