  • Applications

    6-Acetyltetralin (CAS 774-55-0) is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient and fragrance intermediate in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing woody, aromatic notes from its aryl–alicyclic structure. It also serves as a chemical intermediate in industrial manufacturing, providing a building block for the synthesis of specialty chemicals and drug-like scaffolds. In coatings, inks, and certain polymer formulations, it may serve as a functionalized aryl intermediate to introduce hydrophobic character or enable further derivatization. In pharmaceutical development, it can act as a synthetic intermediate for the preparation of drug-like compounds, and it is sometimes evaluated in research contexts as a reactive intermediate for process or formulation development. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
