  • Applications

    4-[(2Z,4E)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexa-2,4-dien-3-yl]phenol (CAS 84-17-3) may serve as a fragrance ingredient or fragrance intermediate, reflecting its conjugated, polyphenolic structure. It can be used as an antioxidant additive in cosmetics and personal care formulations. Owing to its conjugated system and phenolic groups, it may be evaluated as a UV-absorbing or stabilizing component for coatings and inks, and can act as a stabilizer or antioxidant in polymers and plastics. It may also be used as a synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, subject to regulatory requirements and formulation constraints.
