Description

Menthone 1,2-Glycerol Ketal CAS NO 67785-70-0 is a high-purity specialty chemical, a ketal derivative of L-Menthone, valued for its unique organoleptic properties and stability. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient, offering controlled release and enhanced performance in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to modify and improve product profiles.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used as a cooling agent, freshener, and modifier in perfumes, colognes, and fine fragrances to impart a clean, minty character with improved longevity.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into skincare, oral care, and cosmetics as a soothing and cooling additive in creams, lotions, balms, and lip products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key synthetic building block or chiral auxiliary in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug delivery systems.
• Advanced Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a protected form of menthone in organic synthesis, enabling complex reactions where the ketone group needs to be masked.
• Functional Additives: Employed in technical applications where controlled release of a minty or cooling sensation is required.
