  • Applications

    cis-Carvotanacetol (CAS 536-30-1) is a monoterpenoid alcohol with a mild herbal–minty character used broadly in fragrance and flavor to impart camphoraceous, green, and woody nuances and to modify caraway/spearmint, citrus, and lavender notes in perfumes, soaps, detergents, deodorizers, and personal care; in flavors it is dosed at trace levels to fine‑tune mint–spice profiles (chewing gum, confectionery, beverages, savory seasonings) or converted into high‑diffusion aromatic esters; in organic synthesis it serves as an intermediate/chiral‑pool building block for other monoterpenes (e.g., carveol/carvone derivatives, epoxide/lactone targets) and as a model substrate in stereoselective oxidation, hydrogenation, and biotransformations; in analytics and research it is used as a reference standard for GC–MS profiling of essential oils, aroma fingerprinting, and bioactivity studies, and has been investigated for antimicrobial/antifungal and insect‑repellent functions in active material formulations; from a formulation standpoint it blends well with ethanol/glycols, is typically used at 0.01–0.2% in fragrance concentrates, is prone to oxidation so should be stored tightly closed and protected from light with antioxidants; it can be sourced as natural‑identical or synthetic, subject to IFRA safety guidance and local use limits.
