  • Applications

    8-Methyl-5-nonenal (CAS 60671-74-1) is a branched α,β-unsaturated aldehyde used mainly in flavor–fragrance R&D and analytical chemistry: as a GC/GC-MS and GC-O reference or internal/external standard to identify, quantify, and trace volatile carbonyls; as a trace aroma component to fine-tune sensory profiles in formulation development; and as a versatile synthetic intermediate (reduction/hydroboration, oxime/imine formation, chain elaboration via olefination/aldol, derivatization to alcohols/acids or pheromone precursors) supporting the creation of aroma molecules, studies of lipid-oxidation pathways and nucleophile additions to enals, and quality-control programs monitoring stability, shelf life, and volatile fingerprints across food and cosmetic matrices.
