Description

(E)-2,6-Dimethyloct-3-En-2-Ol CAS NO 84282-48-4 is a high-purity, unsaturated tertiary alcohol with a distinctive, powerful woody-amber aroma profile. This compound matters as a versatile and valuable fragrance intermediate, prized for its ability to impart complex, long-lasting olfactory notes in fine perfumery. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as by R&D chemists developing novel aroma chemicals and specialty functional materials.

Application

• Fragrance Compound Synthesis: A key building block for creating sophisticated woody, amber, and sandalwood-type fragrance accords in fine perfumes, personal care products, and home fragrances.
• Flavor Enhancer Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of aroma chemicals that contribute to complex flavor profiles in premium food and beverage applications.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a valuable chiral intermediate or starting material in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and advanced materials.
• Specialty Solvents & Plasticizers: Potential use in the formulation of high-performance, low-volatility solvents or specialty plasticizers due to its branched hydrocarbon structure.
• Functional Fluid Additive: Can be investigated as a component in lubricants or hydraulic fluids where specific oxidative or volatility characteristics are required.

Quality Control

Every batch of (E)-2,6-Dimethyloct-3-En-2-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and olfactory evaluation, to ensure consistency and compliance with industry standards for fragrance ingredients. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 15-25°C. This material is easily oxidized and highly volatile; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
