Description

Fenchol CAS NO 512-13-0 is a naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpenoid alcohol, also known as fenchyl alcohol. It serves as a versatile and valuable intermediate and fragrance ingredient, prized for its characteristic woody, camphoraceous, and earthy aroma profile. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fine chemical synthesis sectors seeking a reliable, high-purity building block.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A key ingredient in perfumery for creating woody, pine, and earthy notes in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and air fresheners.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used as a chiral building block in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Aroma Chemicals: Acts as a starting material or modifier in the synthesis of other terpene-based aroma chemicals and essential oil components.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying terpene chemistry, biological activity, and as a standard for analytical purposes.
• Industrial Biocides & Functional Fluids: Potential application as a component or precursor in specialty formulations requiring specific olfactory or chemical properties.
