  • Applications

    6-p-Tolylheptan-2-one (CAS 75207-34-0) is primarily encountered as an odorant and synthetic intermediate in fragrance chemistry. In practice it may be used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing woody or green facets depending on the formulation. It can also be employed in household products, such as air fresheners and cleaners, as part of fragrance systems; in industrial manufacturing as an intermediate for the synthesis of aroma materials; and as an odorant additive in coatings and inks. Use should comply with local regulations and formulation limits.
