  • Applications

    2,3-Dimethylcyclohexan-1-ol (CAS 1502-24-5) is primarily used as an intermediate in fragrance chemistry and as a fragrance ingredient due to its aliphatic cyclic odor profile. In cosmetics and personal care, it may serve as a scent component or precursor in formulations such as creams, lotions, and perfumes. In household products, it can function as a fragrance additive for cleaners, detergents, and air fresheners to impart a pleasant aroma. In coatings, inks, and related industrial formulations, it is employed as a building block or intermediate for fragrance-related additives and specialty materials. It may also act as a versatile starting material for organic synthesis in industrial manufacturing, with usage governed by local regulations and formulation constraints.
