  • Applications

    2-Methyl-6-methylene-7-octen-4-ol (CAS 14314-21-7) is an allylic, terpenoid-like alcohol used chiefly as a versatile intermediate in flavor–fragrance and fine-chemical workflows: its hydroxyl group and exocyclic C=C enable esterification, acylation, epoxidation, hydroformylation, and other addition/oxidation manifolds to access odorant esters, epoxides, and carbonyl derivatives with fruity–herbal facets for perfumery, deodorants, personal care, and household products; in parallel, it serves as a building block for tailored mono-/sesquiterpene motifs in aroma ingredient development, supports agrochemical research (chemosignal/attractant analogs and pro-structures) and materials work (lightly crosslinkable or functionally prepolymeric units), and functions as an analytical standard or reactive handle in studies of allylic kinetics, stereoselective transformations, and enzymatic biotransformations of allylic alcohols, as well as in catalyst screening in both organocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis.
