CAS 5986-55-0: Patchouli alcohol
Description:Patchouli alcohol, with the CAS number 5986-55-0, is a natural organic compound primarily derived from the leaves of the patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin). It is a sesquiterpene alcohol, characterized by its distinctive earthy, woody, and sweet aroma, which makes it a popular ingredient in perfumes and fragrances. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively high boiling point. Patchouli alcohol is known for its stability and low volatility, contributing to its lasting scent in formulations. In addition to its aromatic properties, it exhibits potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities, making it of interest in both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. Its solubility is generally better in organic solvents than in water, which is a common trait among many terpenes. Overall, patchouli alcohol is valued not only for its fragrance but also for its functional properties in various industries, including cosmetics, aromatherapy, and natural products.
