Application
Bicyclohomofarnesal (CAS 3243-36-5) is a high-purity bicyclic aldehyde widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of amber and woody fragrance ingredients, notably Ambrox® and related oxygenated sesquiterpenoids. Its clean, warm, and slightly metallic odor profile contributes to sophisticated amber, ambergris, and woody accords in fine perfumery. It is also employed as a fixative and top-note modifier in colognes, luxe soaps, and prestige personal care products. Beyond flavors and fragrances, bicyclohomofarnesal serves as a versatile building block for bioactive compounds and specialty aroma chemicals.
