  • Applications

    Santolina triene (CAS 2153-66-4) is an unsaturated terpene hydrocarbon found in Santolina essential oils and other Asteraceae, used mainly in R&D: as a GC/GC-MS reference standard for qualitative/quantitative profiling and quality control of essential oils, botanical authentication, and chemotaxonomy; as an aroma component for sensory mapping and a fragrance modulator in experimental perfumery with herbal-woody-terpenic nuances; as a synthetic building block and precursor in catalytic transformations to access bicyclic/terpenoid scaffolds; as a model substrate to study autoxidation, photochemistry, and formulation stability; and as a target in in vitro bioactivity screening (e.g., antimicrobial or insect-repellent potential) and ecological semiochemical studies, while large-scale commercial uses remain limited; it is typically handled under inert atmosphere, protected from light and oxygen to minimize oxidative degradation.
