GRISALVA 1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-pentanone (CAS NO : 68611-23-4)

Grisalva (CAS No: 68611-23-4) functions as a sophisticated ethyl analogue of Ambrox, offering a distinctively potent and diffusive ambergris profile that has become indispensable for fragrance houses seeking to replicate high-value animalic notes with synthetic precision. As a reaction product of 1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-pentanone and prop-2-yn-1-ol, this speciality intermediate demonstrates exceptional substantivity, maintaining its olfactory integrity on a smelling strip for over 48 hours, which categorizes it as a high-performance fixative for fine fragrances and luxury personal care formulations. The global market for such amber-family fixatives is currently navigating a shift toward high-purity, sustainable chemical manufacturing, where Grisalva stands out for its unique ability to impart a creamy, metallic, and skin-like warmth that standard ambroxan-based alternatives cannot replicate, driving its demand across global sourcing networks and speciality chemical marketplaces. As a globally established Grisalva supplier, we ensure dependable supply, consistent quality, and complete regulatory documentation, including Grisalva CoA and Grisalva TDS across all grades. Beyond supply, we support partners through the entire product lifecycle from route scouting, process and formulation development, and analytical method development to scale-up, process optimisation, and pilot-to-commercial manufacturing. Our teams also assist with GMP-compliant quality assurance, regulatory documentation, and global supply chain and logistics coordination.
