  • Applications

    Cyclohexanol, 2-methoxy-4-propyl-, CAS 23950-98-3 is primarily used as an aroma-chemical and odorant in perfumery, and may be incorporated into cosmetics and personal care formulations as a fragrance constituent. It can serve as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, enabling the preparation of other cyclohexane-derived compounds. In industrial contexts, it appears as a component or co-solvent in household cleaning products and air-freshener formulations. It may function as a building block in polymer and plastics chemistry, contributing to specialty polymers or plasticizers where compatible. Depending on regulatory status and formulation constraints, it may also be evaluated as a screening intermediate for pharmaceutical or agrochemical research.
