Applications
(r)-4-Methylhexanal is a chiral aldehyde primarily used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance and flavor compounds, acting as a building block for aroma ingredients in perfumery and the food flavor sector; it may also be employed in cosmetics/personal care formulations as a fragrance precursor, and in industrial manufacturing as an intermediate for the preparation of other specialty chemicals.
