  • Applications

    2-(3,3-Dimethylcyclohexylidene)ethanol (CAS 41370-29-0) is primarily used as a chemical intermediate and fragrance-building block. In perfumery and cosmetics, it can function as an odorant or fragrance precursor, contributing bulky, long-lasting notes and serving as a scaffold for aroma compounds. In household products, it may be employed as a fragrance ingredient in detergents, cleaners, and air fresheners to impart a distinct woody-green character. In industrial manufacturing, it is commonly evaluated as an intermediate for the synthesis of specialty chemicals and fragrance derivatives. In coatings and inks, as well as in polymer formulations, it may be used as an additive or reactive intermediate to introduce scent attributes or to modulate material properties. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
