  • Applications

    Myrtenol, (-)- (CAS 19894-97-4) is a chiral monoterpene alcohol widely used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery and cosmetics/personal care. It is also employed as a scent component in household products and, with regulatory conformity, may be evaluated as a flavor note in certain food or beverage applications. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a building block or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex fragrance compounds and aroma chemicals.
