  • Applications

    Pinocarveol, trans-(−)- (CAS 547-61-5) is a naturally occurring monoterpenic alcohol with a piney, green, slightly herbal odor, widely used in flavor, fragrance, and research. In perfumery and cosmetics it acts both as an odorant and an aroma modulator, adding fresh coniferous lift to fougère, chypre, and citrus–woody accords, and enhancing diffusion in soaps, detergents, deodorizers, air-care sprays, and candles under a natural positioning. In foods and beverages, trans-(−)-pinocarveol can be dosed appropriately to impart resinous–herbal, pine-forest nuances to mint confections, wild-mint profiles, herbal drinks, and citrus bases, subject to applicable safety and flavor regulations. In chemistry it serves as a chiral scaffold/intermediate for terpene derivative synthesis (via esterification, oxidation, or other configuration-selective transformations), and as a reference standard for GC/MS, LC, and chiral chromatography, an internal/external standard for sensory calibration, and a tracer in atmospheric chemistry studies of monoterpene oxidation and secondary organic aerosol formation.
