  • Applications

    m-Ethylbenzaldehyde (CAS 34246-54-3) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and a synthetic precursor in perfumery and personal care, functioning as an odorant and a building block for more complex scent compounds. It is commonly considered as an aroma component in the flavor/fragrance domain to help develop artificial aroma profiles, and may be employed as a precursor in certain formulations. In household products and cleaners, it can contribute to a pleasant scent when blended with other fragrance materials. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in industrial manufacturing, enabling the synthesis of specialty chemicals including fragrance derivatives, colorants, and related intermediates. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
