Fenchone(CAS#1195-79-5)

Introduction

1,3,3-trimethyl-dicyclic [2.2.1]hept-2-one is an organic compound.Quality:1,3,3-trimethyl-dicyclic [2.2.1]hept-2-one is a colorless liquid with a special aroma at room temperature. It is soluble in most organic solvents, but not in water.Uses: It has a fresh, aromatic scent that can be used to enhance the aroma of products.Preparation method:Preparation of 1,3,3-trimethyl-dicyclic [2.2.1]hept-2-one is typically performed using the synthetic route. A commonly used preparation method is to react phenylacetone with bromoacetyl bromide to produce iodoacetylacetone, which is then heated with cyclopentadiene under acidic conditions, and finally the target product is obtained through chromatography, crystallization and other steps.Safety Information:1,3,3-trimethyl-dicyclic [2.2.1]hepta-2-one is relatively safe under normal use conditions. As an organic compound, it can be somewhat irritating and allergenic. Attention should be paid to protection during use, such as wearing gloves, goggles and protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and other mucous membranes, and avoid inhalation, ingestion, or mixing with other chemicals. If accidentally touched, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. During storage and transportation, contact with oxidants, strong acids and alkalis should be avoided to prevent the risk of fire and explosion.

Application
Fenchone (CAS 1195-79-5) is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone naturally occurring in essential oils of fennel, thuja, and lavender. It exhibits a characteristic camphoraceous, earthy, woody, and slightly bitter aroma with cooling undertones. In the flavor and fragrance industry, fenchone is widely used as a flavoring agent (FEMA 2480) to impart herbaceous, minty, and spicy nuances to beverages, baked goods, confectionery, chewing gum, and oral care products. As a fragrance ingredient, it contributes fresh, green, and camphoraceous top notes to perfumes, colognes, soaps, detergents, and household cleaners, often blending well with lavender, rosemary, and citrus oils. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other terpenoid aroma chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, fenchone is utilized as a natural insect repellent, a solvent for resins and waxes, and a starting material for the production of fine chemicals. Its high purity ensures consistent organoleptic properties and stability in formulated products.
