Description

(Z)-2-Hepten-1-Ol CAS NO 55454-22-3 is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its distinct cis-configuration and a fresh, green, slightly fatty odor profile. This compound serves as a versatile and valuable intermediate for the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical actives. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as by R&D laboratories focused on organic synthesis and fine chemical production.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a key building block or modifier in the synthesis of green, fatty, and fruity aroma chemicals for perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a crucial chiral precursor or reactant in the production of more complex pharmaceutical compounds, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying olefin chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, and as a standard for analytical method development.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Utilized in the manufacture of certain pheromones, plant growth regulators, or other bioactive agricultural intermediates.
