Application
4-Hydroxy-alpha,alpha,4-trimethylcyclohex-2-ene-1-methanol (p-Menth-2-ene-1,8-diol) is a chiral monoterpene diol natural product. As an advanced pharmaceutical intermediate, it is a key building block in the asymmetric total synthesis of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and related cannabinoid analogs. In drug discovery, its derivatives show promise as potent non-peptide CCR1 receptor antagonists for inflammation research, and as candidate inhibitors of COX-2 enzyme for treating arthritis. In cosmetic applications, the compound functions as a natural antioxidant, soothing agent, skin-conditioning emollient, and fragrance fixative. It is also utilized as a certified reference material for research and forensic analysis. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of this high-purity terpene building block with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
