Description

(+)-α-Funebrene CAS NO 50894-66-1 is a high-purity, naturally-derived sesquiterpene hydrocarbon of significant interest in advanced fragrance and flavor chemistry. Its unique woody, balsamic, and slightly spicy olfactory profile makes it a valuable building block for creating complex, natural-smelling accords. This compound is essential for R&D and production teams in the flavor & fragrance, cosmetics, and fine chemical industries seeking to innovate with natural aromatic ingredients.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A key intermediate and modifier in premium perfumery for creating woody, ambery, and balsamic base notes in fine fragrances, personal care products, and home scents.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used to impart subtle woody and spicy nuances in the creation of sophisticated natural flavorings for beverages, confectionery, and gourmet foods.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Incorporated into essential oil blends and diffuser products for its grounding and calming aromatic properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral starting material or intermediate in the organic synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and pharmaceuticals.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Employed as a natural-scented component in high-end skincare, soaps, and lotions where botanical authenticity is valued.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry (GC/MS) and for studying the properties and reactions of sesquiterpenes.

Quality Control

Our (+)-α-Funebrene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic (GC, GC/MS) and spectroscopic methods to confirm identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its sensitivity to light and oxidation, prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
