Description

(Z)-3-Octen-2-Ol CAS NO 69668-89-9 is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic alcohol characterized by its distinct cis-configuration and a fresh, green, mushroom-like odor profile. This compound is a valuable chiral intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient prized for its organoleptic properties and chemical reactivity. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking to create complex natural aromas or specific stereoisomers.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key component in creating fresh, green, earthy, and mushroom-like notes for perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Organic Synthesis: Used in various chemical reactions, including esterifications and reductions, due to its reactive hydroxyl group and double bond.
• Aroma Chemicals: Employed in the formulation of sophisticated aroma compositions for household products, detergents, and air fresheners.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying stereochemistry, olfactory receptors, and new synthetic pathways.
