Description

(Z)-3-Hepten-2-Ol CAS NO 67077-40-1 is a high-purity, unsaturated alcohol characterized by its specific stereochemistry and a distinctive, often green, fatty odor profile. This compound serves as a valuable chiral intermediate and a key fragrance ingredient, enabling the synthesis of complex molecules and the creation of nuanced olfactory compositions. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F) industry, as well as by fine chemical producers for use in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research and development.

Application

• Fragrance Ingredient: Used as a building block in the synthesis of complex perfumery chemicals and as a direct component to impart green, fatty, or fruity nuances in fine fragrances, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Flavor Modifier: Employed in the creation of sophisticated flavor compositions, particularly for enhancing or rounding out green, vegetable, or tropical fruit flavor profiles in food and beverage applications.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral synthon in asymmetric synthesis for the pharmaceutical industry, aiding in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Utilized in the research and development of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where its specific structure can contribute to the biological activity of the final product.
• Research & Development: Acts as a standard or starting material in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying organic reactions, catalysis, and the properties of unsaturated alcohols.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-3-Hepten-2-Ol is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications for identity, assay, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
