Description

(-)-Isosativene is a specific enantiomer of the naturally occurring sesquiterpene hydrocarbon isosativene, identified by CAS NO 24959-83-9. This compound is valued for its unique structural configuration and serves as a crucial chiral building block and reference standard in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily sought after by research and development laboratories in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries for its role in creating complex, stereochemically defined molecules and for analytical purposes.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: Used as a chiral starting material or a key component in the synthesis of complex, natural-identical aroma chemicals and flavoring agents.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a chiral synthon or a reference standard in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where stereochemistry is critical.
• Natural Product Synthesis: Acts as a building block in the total synthesis of other sesquiterpenoids and natural products for academic and industrial research.
• Analytical Standard: Employed as a high-purity reference material in gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the identification and quantification of isosativene in complex matrices.
• Chemical Ecology Studies: Used in research to study insect pheromones or plant volatiles where specific enantiomers elicit biological activity.
