Description

(Z)-3,7-Dimethylocta-3,6-Dienenitrile is a high-purity nitrile derivative of citronellal, serving as a key fragrance intermediate and synthetic building block. This compound is valued for its ability to impart fresh, green, and citrus-like olfactory notes, making it essential for creating sophisticated scent profiles. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as by fine chemical producers for use in organic synthesis.

Application

• Fragrance Ingredient: A core component in the formulation of fine perfumes, colognes, and personal care products for its fresh, green, and citrusy aroma.
• Flavor Modifier: Used in trace amounts to enhance or modify flavor profiles in food and beverage applications.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Household & Industrial Products: Incorporated into air fresheners, detergents, and cleaning agents to provide a pleasant and lasting scent.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Used in soaps, lotions, and shampoos to impart a desirable fragrance character.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying terpene chemistry and developing new synthetic pathways.
