  • Applications

    2,3-Dimethyl-3-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-2-norbornanol is a bicyclic norbornane-type alcohol with a bulky hydrophobic framework and a reactive hydroxyl group, making it useful as: a fragrance ingredient or intermediate for perfumery, personal care, and household air care (the molecule itself or its ester/ether/carbonate derivatives can impart woody–resinous–camphoraceous, slightly fruity–terpenic nuances and help modulate diffusion and longevity); a synthetic building block to access functional derivatives (e.g., acrylate/urethane/carbonate esters, ethers) for specialty polymers, inks, and coatings to tune rigidity, glass transition temperature, solvent resistance, and diffusion rates; a model substrate for catalysis and stereochemical studies (selective alcohol oxidation, esterification, and double-bond transformations) and for structure–odor relationship research on terpenoid-like molecules; and a specialized intermediate in specialty-chemical and agrochemical discovery, where the rigid norbornane scaffold helps balance hydrophobicity and durability in target entities.
