  • Applications

    Monomenthyl succinate, (-)- (CAS number: 77341-67-4) is used primarily as an intermediate and fragrance-related chemical. In the fragrance and cosmetics industries, it serves as a scent ingredient and can act as a fixative to help stabilize and extend fragrance profiles. It may also be employed as an aroma chemical in fragrance formulations and flavor applications where permitted. Additionally, it serves as a chiral building block for the synthesis of aroma compounds and other fine chemicals in industrial manufacturing. It can also function as a building block in polymer and material development, enabling enantioselective routes and specialized formulations.
