  • Applications

    Camphenilone (CAS 13211-15-9) is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone with a camphoraceous, fresh, pine-woody odor, used mainly as a fragrance ingredient to add camphor/pine facets and improve diffusion and tenacity in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, personal-care products, and air care; it also serves as an intermediate in aroma chemistry for building related terpenoid alcohols, esters, lactones, and ketones, as a flavor modifier imparting minty/resinous nuances at trace levels where permitted, and as a versatile scaffold in organic synthesis and pharma/agro research due to its rigid hydrophobic bicyclic framework; additionally, it is employed as a reference/analytical standard for QC; implementation should follow safety and regulatory requirements (e.g., IFRA, REACH and local flavor/fragrance rules), with impurity control, very low typical use levels (ppm range), and standard handling for volatile ketones.
