Description

(E)-5-Methyl-1-(2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohex-2-En-1-Yl)Hex-1-En-3-One is a high-purity, synthetic ketone derivative with a distinctive woody, amber-like olfactory profile. This compound matters for its role as a versatile and valuable fragrance intermediate, enabling the creation of complex and long-lasting scent accords. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as by research and development chemists exploring novel aroma chemicals and synthetic pathways.

Application

• Fragrance Ingredient: A key building block for sophisticated perfumes, imparting woody, ambery, and tobacco-like notes in fine fragrances, personal care products, and home care items.
• Flavor Modifier: Used in trace amounts to enhance or modify flavor profiles in certain food and beverage applications, contributing to complex taste experiences.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor in the multi-step synthesis of more complex aroma molecules and other specialty organic compounds.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying structure-odor relationships, reaction mechanisms, and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Incorporated into cosmetic products where a specific, stable fragrance character is required.
• Aromatherapy & Home Scents: Used in the formulation of essential oil blends, diffuser oils, and scented candles for its warm and grounding aromatic qualities.

Quality Control

Our (E)-5-Methyl-1-(2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohex-2-En-1-Yl)Hex-1-En-3-One is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity, consistent olfactory profile, and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer content, and other critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
