 ISODAMASCONE(CAS#39872-57-6) Introduction

(E)-1-(2,4,4-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one, also known as Fenchone, is an organic compound. Below is an introduction to its properties, uses, preparation, and safety information:

Properties:
Fenchone has a distinct aroma similar to camphor. It is a colorless liquid and appears clear under standard conditions. It has low toxicity and relatively low vapor pressure.

Uses:
Fenchone is primarily used for fragrance formulation in products such as perfumes, soaps, laundry detergents, and shampoos. It can also be used as an ingredient in insecticides and preservatives.

Preparation:
Fenchone is typically synthesized through the reaction of cyclohexane and butenone in the presence of an acidic catalyst. The reaction product is purified through extraction, distillation, and purification steps to obtain pure Fenchone.

Safety Information:
Fenchone has relatively low toxicity under normal use. It generally does not cause irritation or sensitivity upon skin contact for most people. Prolonged or high exposure may lead to some skin allergic reactions. In use, inhalation or ingestion should be avoided, and contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes should be prevented. Appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and safety goggles, should be worn during handling.
