  • Applications

    6-Ethyl-3-methyloct-6-en-1-ol (CAS 26330-65-4) is an allylic alcohol with a branched C8 skeleton and is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics; it may serve as a synthetic intermediate for other aroma compounds; it can be used as a flavor intermediate in the food or beverage sector; it is employed in household products and personal-care items such as air fresheners, detergents, and shampoos to contribute fragrance; and it can function as a building block in industrial fragrance chemistry for the synthesis of more complex odorants, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
