Description

4-(3,3-Dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-2-Ylidene)-2-Methyl-2-Buten-1-Ol is a specialized bicyclic terpene alcohol derivative with a unique, rigid molecular framework. This compound serves as a versatile chiral building block and intermediate for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in the fragrance and pharmaceutical sectors. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development teams in fine chemical, flavor & fragrance, and advanced material industries for creating novel compounds with specific stereochemical and olfactory properties.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A key chiral precursor for the synthesis of high-value amber, woody, and sandalwood-type aroma chemicals.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a sophisticated building block in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with complex polycyclic structures.
• Organic Synthesis & Catalysis: Acts as a ligand precursor or a chiral scaffold in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis research.
• Advanced Material Research: Investigated for its potential in creating novel polymers or liquid crystals due to its rigid, bulky bicyclic structure.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the development of new generation pesticides and herbicides requiring specific stereochemistry.

Quality Control

We maintain a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for this advanced intermediate. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to meet the exacting standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
