  • Applications

    Sparassol (CAS 520-43-4) is primarily encountered as a fragrance-related compound. In industrial contexts it may be used as an odorant/fragrance component in perfumery and cosmetic formulations, and as a fragrance additive in household products such as cleaners and air fresheners. It is commonly evaluated as an intermediate in organic synthesis for producing more complex aroma-active compounds and related materials. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
