Description

(+)-Cuparene CAS NO 56324-31-3 is a specific enantiomer of the naturally occurring sesquiterpene hydrocarbon cuparene, prized for its distinct aromatic and chemical profile. This compound is of significant interest in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its unique woody, ambery, and slightly spicy olfactory characteristics. It serves as a valuable chiral building block and reference standard in organic synthesis, flavor creation, and analytical research for companies seeking high-purity, well-defined natural product derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a key component in the formulation of fine perfumes, cosmetics, and specialty food flavorings to impart unique woody, ambery, and spicy notes.
• Chiral Synthetic Intermediate: Employed as a building block in the stereoselective synthesis of more complex natural products and pharmaceuticals due to its defined stereochemistry.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity standard for gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in quality control and research laboratories.
• Natural Product Research: Utilized in biochemical and pharmacological studies to investigate the properties and activities of sesquiterpene compounds.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or intermediate for the production of derivatives with potential applications in agrochemicals or material science.
