  • Applications

    Cyclohexanol, 2-methoxy-4-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)- (CAS 68922-09-8) is primarily used as an intermediate in fragrance chemistry, where the bulky norbornyl moiety contributes to molecular rigidity and odor retention and serves as a building block for aroma compounds and fixatives. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be used as a fragrance ingredient or scent precursor, and similarly in household products as an odorant or fragrance additive to improve longevity. In industrial manufacturing, it is evaluated as a specialty intermediate for fragrance- and aroma-related syntheses and may be incorporated into coatings or inks as a fragrance additive to impart lasting scent. Use is typically guided by formulation goals and subject to local regulations.
