  • Applications

    2-Cyclohexen-1-ol, 2-methyl-5-(1-methylethenyl)-, 1-acetate, (1R,5R)-rel- (commonly known as carvyl acetate or trans-carveol acetate, CAS 1205-42-1) is a monoterpene acetate with a minty, herbaceous, caraway-like character used widely as a fragrance and odor modifier in perfumes, soaps, detergents, and personal care products; as a flavor ingredient in chewing gum, confectionery, beverages, and oral care to impart spearmint/cooling and warm-spicy nuances; as a booster in citrus, herbal, woody, and spicy accords due to its medium volatility and its ability to round off harsh carvone notes, blending well with limonene, menthol, and eucalyptol; and as a synthetic intermediate to other terpenoids (e.g., via hydrolysis/oxidation back to carveol/carvone or epoxidation), an analytical GC-MS reference standard for profiling caraway/dill/spearmint essential oils, and a nature-identical ingredient obtainable from limonene streams for modern flavor-fragrance formulations under prevailing safety guidelines.
