Description

2,4-Diethyl-2,6-Heptadienal CAS NO 85136-07-8 is a specialized unsaturated aldehyde characterized by its conjugated diene structure. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and flavor/fragrance precursor due to its unique reactive carbonyl group and carbon skeleton. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the aroma chemical, pharmaceutical intermediate, and fine chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: A key building block for creating complex fragrance and flavor molecules with green, citrus, or fruity notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis for agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty polymers.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying Diels-Alder reactions and other carbonyl chemistry.
• Perfumery Compounds: Acts as a precursor for musks and other high-value odorants in the fragrance industry.
