  • Applications

    Selin-11-en-4alpha-ol (CAS 16641-47-7) is a selinane-type sesquiterpene alcohol occurring in certain plant essential oils; it is used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care for its dry woody/earthy nuances and as a low-volatility fixative; employed as an analytical reference/standard in GC-MS profiling for identification, quantification, and chemotaxonomic markers of essential oils; explored as a trace flavor/aroma modulator and for microencapsulation and controlled-release in fragrance delivery systems; and investigated for typical sesquiterpene-alcohol bioactivities (antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory) and mixture synergy, with value in natural products chemistry for source screening and for developing synthetic or semisynthetic routes to ensure industrial-grade supply.
