Description

(±)-Intermedeol CAS NO 6168-59-8 is a sesquiterpene alcohol, a versatile chiral intermediate and fragrance ingredient prized for its woody, amber-like olfactory characteristics. Its value lies in its utility as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and as a standard for analytical and research purposes. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fine chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Fragrance Compound Synthesis: Serves as a crucial chiral intermediate in the production of high-value amber, woody, and oriental fragrance notes.
• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Formulation: Used as a component in creating complex perfume accords and specialty aromatic compositions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a building block in the research and development of bioactive molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Chemical Research & Standard: Employed as a reference standard in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) for the identification of sesquiterpenes in natural products.
• Natural Product Chemistry: Used in studies related to the synthesis, isolation, and characterization of terpenoids and related natural compounds.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Utilized in custom synthesis projects requiring specific sesquiterpene alcohol frameworks.

Quality Control

Our (±)-Intermedeol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC, HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
