(+)-Dihydrocarvone(CAS#5524-05-0)

Introduction

2R-trans-2-methyl-5-(1-methethyl)-cyclohexanone.Quality:2R-trans-2-methyl-5-(1-methethyl)-cyclohexanone is a colorless liquid with a strong camphor odor. The compound can be composed of two stereoisomers, with the 2R isomer generally having higher activity.Uses: For example, it can be used to synthesize the antioxidant BHT (tert-butylhydroxyanisole), plant growth regulator Aa-1 (2-methyl-5(1-methylethyl)cyclohexanone), etc.Preparation method:The preparation method of 2R-trans-2-methyl-5-(1-methethyl)-cyclohexanone is generally completed by the ketone hydroxyaldehyde condensation reaction catalyzed by alkali. Specifically, 2R-trans-2-methyl-5-(1-methethyl)-cyclohexanone can be synthesized using methyl-2-cyclohexanone and acetone.Safety Information:When operating, you should follow relevant safety operating procedures and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as laboratory glasses, gloves and protective clothing. 2R-trans-2-methyl-5-(1-methethyl)-cyclohexanone is irritating and corrosive, avoiding inhalation, skin contact and ingestion. When storing, it should be placed in a sealed container, away from heat and fire. When disposing of waste, local regulations and regulations should be followed to ensure safe disposal.

Application
(+)-Dihydrocarvone (CAS 5524-05-0) is a chiral monoterpene ketone with a fresh, minty, herbaceous, and slightly woody aroma, naturally occurring in spearmint, caraway, and dill oils. In the flavor industry, it imparts cooling, minty, and spearmint-like notes to chewing gum, candies, oral care products, beverages, and dairy items (FEMA 3563), often blending with carvone and menthol. As a fragrance ingredient, it adds green, minty, and spicy nuances to perfumes, colognes, soaps, shampoos, and household cleaners, providing a natural freshness. It also serves as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of other terpenoids, including dihydrocarveol, carvone derivatives, and cooling agents. Additionally, (+)-dihydrocarvone is used as a chiral building block in asymmetric synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as a natural insect repellent and biopesticide. High purity ensures consistent sensory performance.
