Description

Carane is a bicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbon, a key building block and intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. Its unique fused ring structure makes it a valuable starting material for the production of high-value fragrances, flavors, and pharmaceutical intermediates. This compound is essential for R&D and manufacturing in the flavor & fragrance, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking novel molecular scaffolds.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing novel aroma chemicals with woody, earthy, or amber notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its complex bicyclic framework.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate in creating new generations of pesticides and herbicides with specific biological activity.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for the construction of complex natural products and specialty chemicals.
• Chemical Research Standard: Used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry, particularly in GC-MS for terpene identification.

Quality Control

Our Carane is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthesis and research. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, guaranteeing traceability and consistent quality.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and oxidation.
