  • Applications

    Alpha-amylcinnamaldehyde dimethyl acetal, (Z)- is primarily used as a fragrance intermediate and odorant in perfumery and cosmetics due to its cinnamaldehyde-derived aroma. As an acetal, it provides storage stability and can hydrolyze to the corresponding aldehyde under acidic conditions to release the aroma on demand, making it a useful precursor in fragrance synthesis. It is used as a fragrance additive in coatings and inks for aroma-release properties, and in polymers/plastics as an odorant or fragrance modifier in specialty formulations. It may also find use in cleaning products as a fragrance component and as an industrial manufacturing intermediate for preparing cinnamaldehyde-derived compounds and specialty polymers.
