Description

Campholenic Aldehyde is a high-value, monocyclic terpenoid aldehyde with a distinctive woody, amber-like aroma. This versatile chiral intermediate is prized for its role in synthesizing complex fragrance molecules and fine chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as for research and development in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry. Our supply of Campholenic Aldehyde CAS NO 4501-58-0 ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for your production needs.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Synthesis: A key chiral building block for high-value aroma chemicals like Sandalwood odorants (e.g., Sandalore®, Polysantol®).
• Fine Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty organic compounds.
• Perfumery: Imparts woody, amber, and balsamic notes in premium perfume compositions and functional fragrances.
• Research & Development: Serves as a starting material for novel organic transformations and catalysis studies in academic and industrial labs.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Employed in the production of specialty ingredients for personal care products requiring specific olfactory profiles.
