Description

4-(2,4,6-Trimethyl-3-Cyclohexen-1-Yl)-3-Buten-2-Ol is a high-value, unsaturated tertiary alcohol with a woody, ambery, and slightly floral aroma profile. This compound matters as a versatile fragrance intermediate and chiral building block for the synthesis of complex molecules. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates sectors seeking to impart unique olfactory characteristics or construct specific stereocenters.

Application

• Fragrance Compound: Serves as a key ingredient in premium perfumery for creating woody, amber, and floral accords in fine fragrances, soaps, and cosmetic products.
• Flavor Enhancer: Used in trace amounts to add complexity and subtle woody notes to sophisticated flavor formulations.
• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a chiral synthon in the organic synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacturing of other derivative aroma chemicals through reactions like esterification or hydrogenation.
• Functional Fluids & Additives: Potential use in high-performance lubricants or polymer additives where its specific structure imparts desired properties.
