Description

(E)-Hex-3-Enyl Formate CAS NO 56922-80-6 is a high-purity, unsaturated ester compound valued for its characteristic green, fruity, and slightly fatty aroma profile. This compound is essential for creating authentic and sophisticated flavor and fragrance compositions. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as by research and development laboratories focusing on aroma chemistry and synthetic pathways.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Ingredient: A key component in the formulation of perfumes, colognes, and fine fragrances, imparting fresh green and fruity top notes.
• Food & Beverage Flavors: Used to replicate or enhance natural fruit flavors such as apple, pear, melon, and tropical fruits in beverages, confectionery, and dairy products.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or building block in the organic synthesis of more complex aroma molecules and specialty chemicals.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into scented lotions, soaps, shampoos, and other personal care items to provide a fresh, natural scent.
• Household Products: Used in air fresheners, fabric softeners, and cleaning products to deliver pleasant, fruity-green aromas.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-odor relationships, reaction mechanisms, and developing new synthetic methodologies.
