  • Applications

    Methoxyindane (CAS 1006-27-5) is used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance and aroma chemicals, serving as a building block for certain odorant compounds in perfumery; it may be evaluated for use in fragrance formulations in cosmetics and personal care; it can also function as an odorant or fragrance intermediate for household products such as cleaners or air fresheners; in industrial manufacturing it is employed as an intermediate for the preparation of specialty compounds and as a building block for polymer and plastics-related materials in the development of specialty chemicals; it is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
