Description

2-Methylpropyl 1-Methyl-3-(4-Methyl-3-Pentenyl)Cyclohex-3-Ene-1-Carboxylate is a specialized fragrance intermediate and chemical building block prized for its unique woody, amber-like olfactory characteristics. Its value lies in its ability to impart complex, long-lasting scent profiles and enhance the stability of fragrance compositions. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the fine fragrance, personal care, and household product industries seeking to develop sophisticated and differentiated aroma formulas.

Application

• Fine Fragrance Formulation: Serves as a key intermediate and fixative in the creation of premium perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes, contributing to woody, amber, and musk accords.
• Personal Care Products: Used in scented lotions, soaps, shampoos, and deodorants to provide a stable and appealing base note.
• Household & Air Care: Incorporated into detergents, fabric softeners, and air fresheners for long-lasting fragrance delivery.
• Functional Perfumery: Acts as a masking agent or odor enhancer in technical and industrial products requiring scent modification.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a versatile intermediate for the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our fragrance-grade materials are produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Every lot is analyzed using GC, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to confirm identity and composition, meeting the stringent requirements of the fragrance industry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, odor profile, and key physical parameters are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and fragrance profile. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
