  • Applications

    6,10,14-Hexadecatrien-3-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl- (CAS 70851-60-4) is a sesquiterpene alcohol commonly used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, where it contributes woody/amber notes and can function as a moderate fixative. It may also serve as a flavor/aroma compound in select food applications. In addition, it is employed as an intermediate in industrial manufacturing for the synthesis of other terpenoid derivatives. The compound can be formulated into household products (air fresheners, detergents) to impart scent, and has been investigated for insect-repellent or semiochemical roles in agriculture and pest-management contexts, though such use is subject to regulatory approval and formulation limits.
