Description

(1S,2R,4R)-1,3,3-Trimethyl-Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptan-2-Ol CAS NO 470-08-6 is a high-purity, stereochemically defined terpene alcohol, also known as (-)-Fenchyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its distinct woody, camphoraceous aroma and its role as a versatile chiral building block in organic synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical intermediates sectors seeking consistent quality and reliable supply of a key natural product derivative.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Serves as a key aromatic ingredient and fixative in fine perfumery, imparting woody, earthy, and pine-like notes. Also used in flavor compositions for its camphoraceous character.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized as a chiral synthon in the asymmetric synthesis of complex molecules due to its rigid bicyclic structure and defined stereochemistry.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or intermediate for the production of other terpene derivatives, esters, and specialty chemicals.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying terpene chemistry, catalysis, and as a standard for analytical purposes.
