Description

(-)-Aristolene CAS NO 6831-16-9 is a high-purity sesquiterpene compound, a specific enantiomer of aristolene valued for its defined stereochemistry and consistent organoleptic profile. This compound is essential for research and development where precise molecular structure and chiral purity are critical for functional outcomes. It serves as a key intermediate and reference standard in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and advanced organic synthesis sectors.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key chiral building block and aroma chemical for creating sophisticated, natural-smelling woody, ambery, and earthy scent profiles in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized as a chiral intermediate or a reference standard in the synthesis and analytical method development for novel bioactive compounds and natural product derivatives.
• Advanced Organic Synthesis: Serves as a valuable starting material or a model compound in stereoselective synthesis, catalysis studies, and the development of new synthetic methodologies.
• Essential Oils & Natural Extracts: Used as an authentic standard for the identification, quantification, and quality control of specific sesquiterpenes in complex natural matrices like essential oils.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Employed in chemical research for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR), terpene biosynthesis, and the properties of chiral molecules.
