  • Applications

    2-Methoxyphenyl 2-furoate (CAS 39251-97-3) is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and a synthetic precursor in fragrance formulation, providing characteristic aryl furoate notes. It is commonly evaluated for cosmetics and personal care formulations as a scent component, potentially acting as a fixative to extend fragrance life. In household products, it may be employed as a fragrance additive for air fresheners and cleaners. In coatings and inks, it can be used as a fragrance constituent to impart aroma in finished products. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a precursor in fragrance synthesis and related formulation development.
