Description

(S)-2-Methylbutyl Heptanoate CAS NO 55195-33-0 is a chiral ester compound characterized by its specific stereochemistry and fruity, waxy aroma profile. This compound is valued for its role as a high-purity flavor and fragrance intermediate, enabling the creation of nuanced and natural-tasting sensory profiles. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food ingredient, and specialty chemical synthesis industries who require consistent, enantiomerically pure materials for premium applications.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Ingredient: Used as a key chiral building block for synthesizing complex fruity, creamy, or waxy notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and fine fragrances.
• Food Flavoring Agent: Serves as an intermediate in the production of natural-identical flavor compounds for beverages, confectionery, and dairy products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral synthon or protecting group in asymmetric organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a standard or reference material in analytical laboratories for method development and quality control.
• Aroma Chemicals: Incorporated into specialty aroma chemical formulations for household products and air care.

Quality Control

Our (S)-2-Methylbutyl Heptanoate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and chemical purity assays, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of flavor, fragrance, and synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
