  • Applications

    Ginkgoneolic acid, CAS 20261-38-5, is primarily regarded as an organic synthesis intermediate for lipid-like phenolic compounds and is commonly used as an analytical reference or marker for quality control of Ginkgo biloba extracts. It can serve as a starting material or building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals based on this acid’s structure. Because of its allergenic and skin-sensitizing properties, consumer product applications are generally conducted under controlled laboratory conditions and in compliance with applicable regulations; in addition, it is used as a research model for studying the chemical behavior of lipid-like phenolics and their roles in organic synthesis and material science.
