Description

Geranylacetone CAS NO 3796-70-1 is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic floral, fruity, and slightly waxy aroma. This versatile acyclic sesquiterpene ketone is a key intermediate and fragrance ingredient prized for its stability and ability to impart fresh, natural top notes. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking to create sophisticated aromatic profiles or complex organic molecules.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A core building block for creating fresh, floral, and fruity accords in fine perfumes, personal care products, and household detergents.
• Flavoring Agent: Used to impart subtle fruity and citrus nuances in food and beverage flavor formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: A crucial intermediate in the production of vitamins (e.g., Vitamin E, Vitamin K1) and other high-value fine chemicals.
• Aroma Chemicals: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing other important aroma compounds like pseudo ionones and irones.
• Cosmetics: Employed as a fragrance component in lotions, creams, and other cosmetic formulations.
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D for organic synthesis and studying terpenoid pathways.
