Description

Dihydrocarveol is a saturated monoterpenoid alcohol derived from carveol, offering enhanced stability and a characteristic minty, herbaceous aroma. This compound is valued for its utility as a versatile chiral intermediate and a stable fragrance component in high-performance applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical synthesis industries for creating sophisticated organoleptic profiles and complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a stable, minty note in perfumes, cosmetics, personal care products, and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a starting material or intermediate in organic synthesis and catalysis research.
• Agrochemicals: Utilized in the research and development of novel crop protection agents and pheromones.
• Household & Industrial Products: Incorporated into air fresheners, detergents, and cleaning agents for its fresh, clean scent.

Quality Control

Our Dihydrocarveol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for industrial and research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, enantiomeric ratio (if applicable), and key impurities is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to preserve stability and prevent degradation.
