  • Applications

    (alphaR)-alpha-Methylcyclohexanemethanol (CAS 3113-99-3) is a chiral secondary alcohol used primarily as an intermediate for chemical synthesis across multiple industries. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a chiral building block for the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients and related intermediates. In fragrance and flavor applications, it can be used as a fragrance ingredient or as a precursor to aroma compounds, leveraging its cyclohexyl framework and stereochemistry. In cosmetics and personal care, it is evaluated as a building block for chiral cosmetic actives or as a platform intermediate in formulation chemistry. In industrial manufacturing, it is used as a starting material for the synthesis of specialty chemicals and as a precursor to other functional alcohols. In polymers and plastics, it can be used as a chiral monomer or as a starting point for the synthesis of chiral polymers and copolymers. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
