Description

1,1,3,3,6-Pentamethylindan-4-Ol CAS NO 53718-28-8 is a high-purity synthetic aromatic alcohol belonging to the indane chemical family, valued for its unique structural properties and stability. This compound serves as a crucial advanced intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the fragrance and pharmaceutical sectors. It is primarily sought by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers for applications requiring a specific, multi-methylated indanol backbone to impart desired olfactory characteristics or to act as a building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing novel musks and other specialty aroma chemicals, contributing to long-lasting and stable scent profiles in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Pharmaceutical Research Intermediate: Used in the research and development of new drug candidates, leveraging its indane core structure which is present in various bioactive molecules.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in academic and industrial laboratories for the construction of complex polycyclic structures due to its sterically hindered alcohol functionality.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor in the manufacture of other high-value, specialized chemicals used in advanced material science and agrochemical research.
