Description

Isopulegol, Tech. CAS NO 7786-67-6 is a versatile monoterpene alcohol, prized for its fresh, minty-woody aroma and its role as a key chiral intermediate in organic synthesis. Its technical grade offers a cost-effective solution for industrial-scale production where high organoleptic purity is not the primary requirement. This product is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking a reliable building block for menthol, citronellal, and other fine chemical derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: A primary precursor in the synthesis of (-)-menthol and other minty aroma chemicals.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral starting material or intermediate for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and therapeutic agents.
• Agrochemical Production: Used in the manufacture of pesticides and herbicides, leveraging its terpene backbone.
• Chemical Synthesis: A valuable reactant for Diels-Alder reactions and the production of isopulegol-based esters and ethers.
• Industrial Solvents & Cleaners: Incorporated into formulations for its solvent properties and pleasant odor.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic pathways and material science applications.
