Description

Guaiane is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, a fundamental building block in the synthesis of a wide range of complex terpenoids. Its unique fused tricyclic structure makes it a valuable intermediate for research and development in advanced organic chemistry. This compound is particularly sought after by the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries for creating novel aromatic compounds and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Serves as a key intermediate and starting material for the synthesis of complex, high-value aroma chemicals and natural flavor compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a crucial scaffold and precursor in the research and development of new therapeutic agents and bioactive natural product derivatives.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral building block for constructing complex molecular architectures in academic and industrial laboratories.
• Essential Oil Analysis: Employed as a reference standard in gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the identification and quantification of guaiane-type sesquiterpenes in natural extracts.
• Agrochemical Development: Investigated as a potential intermediate for creating novel, naturally-inspired plant protection agents and pheromones.

Quality Control

Our Guaiane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, including GC and GC-MS, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
