Description

(1S)-(+)-3-Carene is a bicyclic monoterpene and a key chiral constituent of turpentine oil. This high-purity enantiomer is valued for its distinct pine-like aroma and its role as a versatile chiral building block in organic synthesis. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and fine chemical industries for creating high-value intermediates and specialty products.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a key aromatic ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and air fresheners for its fresh, woody, and pine-like scent profile.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a premium chiral starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other bioactive compounds.
• Adhesive & Resin Formulation: Employed as a reactive diluent or modifier in the production of specialty resins, tackifiers, and industrial adhesives.
• Solvent & Cleaning Applications: Acts as a natural, bio-based solvent in formulations for industrial cleaners, degreasers, and paint thinners.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying terpene chemistry, asymmetric catalysis, and natural product synthesis.

Quality Control

Our (1S)-(+)-3-Carene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for identity, strength, and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
