  • Applications

    (4E)-hept-4-en-1-ol, CAS 24469-79-2, is a linear alkenyl alcohol that serves principally as a fragrance intermediate and odorant in perfumery; it is also used as a chemical intermediate in cosmetics and personal care formulations, where it can contribute to scent profiles or be transformed to related aroma compounds; in industrial manufacturing it functions as a reactive starting material for ester and ether derivatives and for synthesis of fragrance-related compounds; and due to its terminal hydroxyl group and internal double bond, it can be considered a building block for specialty polymers and for coatings or inks formulations.
