  • Applications

    Methyl 2-decenoate (CAS 2482-39-5) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing fruity and green notes to formulations. It may be employed as a flavor/aroma component in select food-flavor applications. As an ester with relevance to fragrance chemistry, it also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance-related compounds and other specialty chemicals. In industrial contexts, it can function as a processing aid or solvent in coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations where odor and solvency are relevant. It is sometimes included in household products as a fragrance component to mask odors.
