Description

3-Octenone,(Z)-3-Octen-2-One CAS NO 51193-77-2 is a high-purity, unsaturated ketone characterized by its distinct green, fatty, and mushroom-like aroma. This compound is a valuable intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient prized for its ability to impart natural, earthy notes to complex formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as by research and development laboratories for use in organic synthesis and as a reference standard.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key component for creating and enhancing natural, green, and mushroom-like olfactory profiles in perfumes, colognes, and fine fragrances.
• Food & Beverage Flavors: Used as a flavoring agent to replicate or boost earthy, vegetable, and fungal notes in savory food products and gourmet applications.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aroma molecules and terpenoids.
• Research & Development: Employed as a reference standard in analytical chemistry (GC, GC-MS) and for biological activity studies in academic and industrial R&D settings.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into formulations for soaps, lotions, and creams where specific natural green notes are desired.
• Functional Fluids & Additives: Investigated for potential use as an intermediate in the production of specialty chemicals and lubricant additives.

Quality Control

Our 3-Octenone,(Z)-3-Octen-2-One is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), to ensure high purity, consistent olfactory profile, and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer content, and physical properties are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
