Tert-Amyl Alcohol, also known as 2-Methyl-2-butanol (CAS No. 75-85-4), is a colourless liquid with a mild camphor-like odour. It is widely used as a solvent, intermediate, and fragrance ingredient in various industrial and cosmetic applications. Its balanced volatility and miscibility make it valuable in the production of flavours, perfumes, and coatings.
In the fragrance industry, Tert-Amyl Alcohol acts as a blending component that enhances the diffusion and stability of aromatic compounds. It is also an essential raw material for the synthesis of esters such as Tert-Amyl Acetate, known for its fruity, banana-like scent.
Used as a fixative and solvent in perfumes, deodorants, and fine fragrances to enhance the blend and longevity of scent compositions.
Serves as an intermediate in the creation of fruity esters, adding mild sweetness and body to flavour formulations.
Utilised in the synthesis of various organic compounds and speciality esters, including Tert-Amyl Methyl Ether and Tert-Amyl Acetate.
Acts as a solvent in drug formulation processes and in speciality coatings for improved solubility and dispersion properties.
