Description

3,7-Dimethyl-6-Octenyl Ethyl Ether is a high-purity, highly volatile ether derivative of citronellol, valued for its unique olfactory and chemical properties. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and a key ingredient in the creation of sophisticated, long-lasting fragrance profiles. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor, cosmetic, and fine chemical synthesis industries for its ability to impart fresh, floral, and citrus-like notes.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A key building block and modifier in the synthesis of high-value aroma chemicals, used to create fresh, green, and citrusy top notes in perfumes, personal care products, and air fresheners.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Employed as a fragrance component and a potential solvent or carrier in lotions, creams, and other cosmetic products requiring a light, volatile carrier.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a protected or modified intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of terpenoids and other complex molecules for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
• Household & Industrial Products: Used as a fragrance additive in detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning agents, and other functional products to enhance consumer appeal.

Quality Control

Our 3,7-Dimethyl-6-Octenyl Ethyl Ether is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency with established specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, specific gravity, refractive index, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
