Overview of 3-Methyl-5-Phenylpent-2-Enenitrile

3-Methyl-5-Phenylpent-2-Enenitrile is an aromatic unsaturated nitrile used as a specialty aroma/intermediate in fragrance and fine-chemical formulations. It presents a warm, green-floral to spicy-phenyl character with good tenacity and can give faceted, long-lasting lift to sophisticated accords. Because of its nitrile functionality and unsaturation, it is primarily handled as an industrial aroma intermediate rather than a direct food flavouring ingredient.

Perfumers and formulators value this material for adding clarity and a modern phenyl-edge to woody-floral and amber bouquets, and it blends well with benzyl- and phenyl-type notes to create rounded, persistent mids and bases.

 

Applications of 3-Methyl-5-Phenylpent-2-Enenitrile

Fragrance & Perfumery Industry

Used as a modifier to add spicy-phenyl, green, and slightly woody facets to floral, oriental, and woody accords.

Helps improve tenacity and diffusion in eau de parfum and fine fragrance bases.

Commonly paired with phenyl-type ingredients to build nuanced middle notes.

Cosmetic & Personal Care

Employed in perfumed cosmetics (creams, deodorants, body sprays) where non-volatile modifiers are required.

Compatible with alcohol-based and oil-based systems when used within recommended concentrations.

Chemical Intermediates & R&D

Used as a synthetic intermediate in aroma chemical research and specialty molecule synthesis.

Valuable in R&D for creating nature-identical or novel aroma motifs.
