2-Methylisoborneol

Description:

2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) is a bicyclic organic compound known for its distinct earthy and musty odor, often associated with the taste and smell of contaminated water. It is classified as a terpenoid and is structurally related to borneol, featuring a methyl group at the 2-position of the isoborneol framework. MIB is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is relatively insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. It has a low vapor pressure, which contributes to its persistence in the environment. This compound is primarily produced by certain species of actinomycetes and cyanobacteria, making it a common contaminant in freshwater systems. Due to its strong odor, MIB can significantly affect the sensory quality of drinking water, leading to challenges in water treatment processes. Its detection typically requires sensitive analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). MIB is also of interest in the fragrance industry and has applications in flavoring, although its strong odor can be a limiting factor.

Controlled Product

CAS: 2371-42-8

2-Methylisoborneol solution - 10 mg/mL in methanol is a chemical compound that is used for the treatment of wastewater. It is known for its ability to remove and neutralize geosmin, which is a bacterial metabolite that causes an earthy or musty odor. 2-Methylisoborneol can be used as an alternative to activated carbon because it does not contribute any undesirable taste or odor to the water. This chemical can also be used as a replacement for activated carbon in biological wastewater treatment systems, where it has been shown to reduce the production of foul odors by bacteria. 2-Methylisoborneol solution - 10 mg/mL in methanol may also be used as an analytical method for detecting gene sequences and protein genes. This product can also be used with hybridoma cell lines to produce monoclonal antibodies specific to certain proteins, such as albumin or thyroglobulin. The monoc
