  • Applications

    Cedrelanol (CAS 5937-11-1) is a natural sesquiterpenoid alcohol (reported from Meliaceae such as Cedrela) whose applications center on fragrance, where its dry, warm woody tonality can be blended into fine perfumes and personal-care products to add depth and a modest fixative effect; it is also used in phytochemical research as a reference/analytical standard for qualitative–quantitative assays and quality control of plant extracts, serves as an intermediate for preparing terpenoid derivatives, and is investigated for bioactivities (antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, insect-related) and other bio-based/material applications, while therapeutic and agricultural uses remain largely preclinical and require safety, stability, and regulatory compliance assessments (e.g., IFRA/REACH).
