  • Applications

    6-Methylhept-5-en-1-ol (CAS 13175-35-4) is used mainly as a fragrance ingredient and a synthetic building block. In perfumery and cosmetics, it functions as an odorant and a precursor for ester-type fragrance components, enabling the creation of green, fruity, or woody notes. It is also evaluated as a precursor for flavor/aroma compounds in selected food and beverage formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a reactive intermediate for specialty esters used in coatings, inks, and adhesives, and can be derivatized to access polymerizable or resin-forming building blocks, subject to formulation limits and regulations.
