Secondary Butyl Quinoline (SBQ), also referred to as sec-Butylquinoline and SAP55IYM36, is an aromatic nitrogen-containing compound preferred across multiple industries with distinct roles. In industrial applications specifically, SBQ robust structure enables it to form stable chelates with metal ions, making it a great chemical stabiliser in corrosion inhibitors, high-performance lubricants, and thermal oxidation-resistant formulations. On the other hand, under the identifier 6-(sec-Butyl)quinoline, it serves as a synthetic aroma chemical prized for its warm, musky, and subtly animalic scent. SBQ acts as a low-volatility fixative in fine fragrances, home scent compositions, and functional fragrances, exhibiting perfect blending compatibility with woody, amber, and leather accords. SBQ is REACH-registered; this dual-use molecule is also favoured in olfactory research & specialised chemical synthesis by speciality chemical suppliers and manufacturers. We are a globally established aroma chemicals supplier, along with a broad portfolio of other fragrances and perfumery worldwide through comprehensive regulatory documentation (CoA), traceability, and consistent global supply capabilities, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance across all grades.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Not classified as hazardous under normal use
May cause mild skin or eye irritation on direct contact Avoid inhalation of concentrated vapors in production environments. Ensure adequate ventilation in closed manufacturing settings
Use personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles) during handling
Stabilises volatile top and middle notes, extending the longevity of fragrance compositions
Contributes a warm, slightly animalic nuance to perfumes, enhancing complexity and richness in base accords
Studied in structure–odor relationship analysis for understanding the behavior of quinoline derivatives in scent profiles
Premium candles, diffusers, and scent-releasing materials due to its low volatility and scent-retention properties
Base note to provide a "tough" leather character in masculine scents and "Chypre" accord perfumes
High stability for premium fabric care (detergents/softeners) and soaps where long-lasting woody-leather notes are required
High-boiling solvent and an intermediate for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat and light
HDPE or steel drums (25–200 kg)
It acts as a fixative, helping extend the longevity of volatile perfume notes and enhancing warm, musky characteristics.
6-(sec-Butyl)quinoline is monosubstituted, giving it a lighter and less intense odor. The 6,8-di-substituted version is more complex and potent.
It is synthetic and not considered natural under ISO standards, though it is often used in modern formulations for stability and olfactory effect.
Yes. It has a distinct retention time and is commonly analyzed by GC-MS in fragrance development and quality control.
The IFRA guidelines apply concentration limits depending on the end product. Check the latest IFRA Amendment for exact thresholds.
Yes, it is readily available through fragrance ingredient suppliers and exporters from india, europe, Scimplify supplies worldwide.
