Description

[R-(E)]-3,7-Dimethyl-3,6-Octadien-2-Ol is a high-purity, optically active monoterpenoid alcohol, also known as (R)-(E)-Geraniol. This compound is valued for its distinct and potent floral-rose aroma, making it a critical chiral building block and fragrance ingredient. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F), fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates sectors seeking high-quality, stereochemically defined raw materials.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: A key chiral component in the synthesis of high-value perfumes, cosmetics, and flavorings, prized for its superior olfactory profile compared to racemic mixtures.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a chiral synthon in the research and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Used as a starting material or intermediate in asymmetric synthesis and the production of other terpenoids and specialty chemicals.
• Agrochemicals: Potential use in the synthesis of chiral pheromones or other biologically active agrochemical agents.
• Research & Development: A standard for analytical testing and a reagent in academic and industrial R&D for stereochemistry and natural product studies.
