  • Applications

    3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamyl alcohol (CAS 30273-62-2) is primarily used as a fragrance intermediate in fragrance chemistry, serving as a building block for the synthesis of cinnamyl-derived aroma compounds and related fragrance ingredients. In cosmetics and personal care, it is used as a fragrance component in formulations such as perfumes, creams and skin care products, subject to formulation limits and local regulations. In household products, it may serve as a scent additive in cleaners, detergents and air fresheners. In industrial manufacturing, it is evaluated and used as an intermediate for producing other cinnamyl derivatives and specialty chemicals used in fragrance applications. In coatings and inks, it may be employed as a fragrance additive in specialty applications, subject to formulation compatibility and regulatory constraints.
