Description

(-)-trans-Myrtanol CAS NO 53369-17-8 is a high-purity, optically active monoterpenoid alcohol valued for its distinct woody, earthy, and slightly camphoraceous aroma profile. This compound is a critical chiral intermediate and fragrance ingredient, prized for its stereochemical purity which directly influences the quality and performance of the final product. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F) industry, as well as for research chemists developing novel synthetic pathways in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: Serves as a key building block and modifier in premium perfumes, colognes, and personal care products, imparting fresh, woody, and herbaceous notes.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used in the creation of complex flavor profiles for food and beverages, contributing earthy and spicy nuances.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex terpenoids, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: Employed as a component in therapeutic blends and natural fragrance oil reproductions.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying terpene chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, and olfactory receptor interactions.

Quality Control

Our (-)-trans-Myrtanol is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. We ensure high chiral purity and chemical integrity through advanced analytical techniques. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters such as enantiomeric excess (ee), chemical purity, and optical rotation are provided with every batch to guarantee consistency and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and purity.
