Description

cis-2-Nonen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its distinct, powerful green and waxy odor profile. This compound is a key intermediate and fragrance ingredient valued for its ability to impart fresh, cucumber-like, and fatty notes to complex scent formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as for chemical synthesis requiring a specific nine-carbon chain with a cis-configured double bond.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A crucial component in perfumery for creating fresh, green, and melon-like top notes in fine fragrances, personal care products, and air fresheners.
• Flavoring Agent: Used to replicate or enhance natural cucumber, melon, and fatty nuances in food and beverage flavorings.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals, esters, and other derivatives.
• Research & Development: Employed as a reference standard and starting material in organic chemistry research and analytical laboratories.
• Specialty Chemicals: A potential intermediate in the production of surfactants, plasticizers, and other specialty organic compounds.
