Description

Dihydro Cuminyl Alcohol (CAS NO 536-59-4) is a saturated, aromatic alcohol valued for its stable, woody, and slightly spicy olfactory profile, making it a superior alternative to its unsaturated counterpart. This compound is prized for its enhanced stability and resistance to oxidation, which is critical for maintaining consistent fragrance and flavor performance over time. It is an essential intermediate and key ingredient for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking reliable and high-purity materials.

Application

• Fragrance Industry: A core building block in fine perfumery for creating woody, amber, and spicy accords in perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.
• Flavor Industry: Used as a flavoring agent to impart warm, spicy, and cumin-like notes to food products, beverages, and savory formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile chiral intermediate and starting material in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty organic compounds.
• Functional Fluids & Additives: Employed in the formulation of high-performance lubricants, plasticizers, and other industrial additives where chemical stability is required.
• Household & Industrial Products: Incorporated into air fresheners, detergents, and cleaning products to provide long-lasting, pleasant scents.
