Description

6,10-Dimethylundec-9-en-2-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol with a distinctive, long-chain terpenoid structure. This compound is valued for its role as a key fragrance intermediate and building block in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances, cosmetic ingredients, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their formulations.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of sophisticated musky, woody, and amber-like fragrance compounds for perfumes, personal care products, and air fresheners.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in the production of specialty esters and emollients for high-end skincare, lotions, and hair care formulations.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile chiral building block for pharmaceutical research and the synthesis of natural products and complex organic molecules.
• Aroma Chemical Production: A key raw material for creating specific aroma chemicals that impart natural, long-lasting scent profiles.
• Lubricant & Plasticizer Additive: Employed in the synthesis of specialty esters that function as high-performance lubricant base stocks or low-volatility plasticizers.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D laboratories for studying terpenoid chemistry and developing new synthetic methodologies.
