Description

Octahydro-α-Methyl-4,7-Methano-1H-Indene-5-Propionaldehyde is a high-purity, complex aldehyde derivative with a unique, powerful, and long-lasting woody-amber character. This compound matters as a key fragrance intermediate and building block for the synthesis of sophisticated aroma chemicals, prized for its ability to impart depth, warmth, and stability to complex scent profiles. It is essential for perfumers and flavor & fragrance houses seeking to create premium consumer products, from fine perfumes and personal care items to high-end home fragrances and specialty chemical applications.

Application

• Fine Fragrance Formulation: Serves as a core ingredient for creating woody, amber, and musk accords in luxury perfumes and eau de toilettes.
• Personal Care Products: Used in scented body lotions, shampoos, soaps, and deodorants to provide a stable, long-lasting base note.
• Home & Fabric Care: Incorporated into premium detergents, fabric softeners, and air fresheners for a sophisticated and persistent scent.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a critical intermediate for the production of other high-value fragrance molecules and fixatives.
• Functional Perfumery: Applied in industrial and institutional products where scent longevity and stability under various conditions are required.

Quality Control

Our Octahydro-α-Methyl-4,7-Methano-1H-Indene-5-Propionaldehyde is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for fragrance applications. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy for identity confirmation and impurity profiling. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, specific gravity, refractive index, and organoleptic properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain optimal quality and shelf life.
