3-NONANOL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

3-nonanol has been used in perfume compositions mainly because it was inexpensive, derived from a large-scale manufactured industrial chemical, but it has also served as intermediate in the manufacture of a number of new perfume chemicals, including the hydroxylated alcohols for Lavender and Jasmin type odors.
As long as this material is available at a very low cost, it can probably find use in low-cost detergent perfumes, etc. as supporting note for fresh-herbaceous fragrances, for odor power and in fantasy fragrances.

Production Methods

3-nonanol can be produced by hydrogenation of Ethyl hexyl ketone. It can also be prepared by reduction of Hexyl vinyl carbinol.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-Nonanol is an aliphatic alcohol.
