  • Applications

    alpha-AMYLCINNAMYL ACETATE (CAS 7493-78-9) is primarily used as an odorant and fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing warm, cinnamon-like notes. It is commonly employed as an intermediate in fragrance synthesis and formulation development. The compound is also used in household products, including air fresheners and cleaners, as part of the fragrance system. In industrial manufacturing, it may serve as a specialty aroma chemical or additive in coatings and inks to impart a cinnamon character. Its use is generally subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
