  • Applications

    The compound 2-Propenal, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-, (Z)-, CAS 119711-59-0, is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and aroma intermediate in perfumery, where its anisyl-substituted enal provides a distinctive green/flower note and serves as a building block for more complex aroma compounds; it may also function as a flavor precursor in flavor chemistry; in cosmetics and personal care it can contribute to fragrance formulations; in household products such as air fresheners it acts as a fragrance component; in industrial manufacturing it is evaluated as a reactive intermediate for the synthesis of fragrance molecules and related specialty polymers.
