Description

2-Methyl-4-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-3-Cyclopenten-1-Yl)Butanol is a high-value fragrance intermediate and aroma chemical prized for its unique woody, amber, and sandalwood-like olfactory characteristics. This compound matters for formulators seeking to create sophisticated, long-lasting, and complex scent profiles in premium consumer products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as by producers of fine chemicals for specialty applications.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A key building block in high-end perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes for imparting woody, amber, and sandalwood notes.
• Personal Care Products: Used in scented lotions, soaps, shampoos, and deodorants to provide a stable and appealing base aroma.
• Home Care & Air Fresheners: Incorporated into fabric softeners, detergents, and air care products for long-lasting fragrance diffusion.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and other specialty chemicals.
• Flavor Enhancers: Potential use in trace amounts to add nuanced woody or earthy notes to certain flavor compositions.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-4-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-3-Cyclopenten-1-Yl)Butanol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity suitable for fragrance applications. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including GC, IR, and NMR. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and olfactory profile are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain optimal quality and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
