Description

Ledol CAS NO 577-27-5 is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol, recognized for its characteristic woody and earthy aroma profile. This compound is valued as a key fragrance ingredient and a versatile chiral building block in fine chemical synthesis. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical intermediates industries.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: Serves as a base note in perfumery, contributing woody, ambergris-like, and earthy nuances to high-end perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used as a flavoring agent to impart subtle woody and herbal notes in specialty food and beverage applications.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Incorporated into skincare and cosmetic formulations for its aromatic properties and as a natural component.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules for pharmaceutical research.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: A constituent found in and sometimes isolated from various essential oils, such as labdanum and ledum, used in aromatherapy blends.
• Chemical Research: Utilized in organic chemistry research as a standard or reagent for studying terpene chemistry and biotransformations.

Quality Control

Our Ledol is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for the flavors, fragrances, and fine chemical sectors. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
