  • Applications

    Hept-4-EN-2-YL 2-hydroxybenzoate (CAS 873888-85-8) is a salicylate ester commonly evaluated for fragrance uses and may serve as an aroma ingredient and fixative. In practical formulations, it can be included in cosmetics and personal care products for scent, in household products such as cleaners and air fresheners to augment fragrance profiles, and in coatings and inks as a fragrance additive or scent carrier; it may also function as an intermediate in fragrance synthesis within industrial manufacturing.
