Description

3-(4-Methyl-3-Cyclohexen-1-Yl)But-3-Enyl 2-Methylbutyrate is a high-purity synthetic ester known for its unique woody, amber, and slightly fruity aromatic profile. This compound matters as a versatile and valuable fragrance intermediate, prized for its ability to impart complex, long-lasting olfactory notes in sophisticated formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F) industry, as well as by producers of fine chemicals and specialty aroma chemicals seeking to enhance product differentiation.

Application

• Fine Fragrance Formulation: Used as a key building block in premium perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes to create or enhance woody, ambery, and balsamic accords.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Products: Incorporated into scents for soaps, lotions, shampoos, and deodorants to provide stable and appealing fragrance characteristics.
• Household & Industrial Products: Serves as a fragrance component in air fresheners, detergents, fabric softeners, and cleaning agents for a pleasant and persistent scent.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of other, more complex fragrance molecules.
• Flavor Enhancement: Employed in trace amounts to contribute subtle fruity or woody nuances in certain advanced flavor applications, following appropriate regulatory compliance.
