  • Applications

    (1R,2S,4R)-Born-2-yl formate (CAS 74219-20-8) is a borneol-derived formate ester with practical applications in the fragrance industry and cosmetics. In perfumery, it is used as a fragrance ingredient and may serve as a chiral-building intermediate for the synthesis of aroma compounds. It also appears in household care formulations as a fragrance component, and in industrial manufacturing as an intermediate or precursor for borneol-derived derivatization. Its use is typically governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
