This mixture comprises (E)-oxacyclohexadec-12-en-2-one, (E)-oxacyclohexadec-13-en-2-one, and (Z)-oxacyclohexadec-12(13)-en-2-one (Cat No.: M022375), all of which are macrocyclic lactones containing a 16-membered ring with varying positions and configurations of a double bond. The (E) and (Z) isomers differ in their spatial arrangement, influencing odor and chemical reactivity. These compounds are commonly found in fragrance and flavor formulations, valued for their musky, ambergris-like scent. Their structural flexibility and volatility make them desirable in perfumery and aroma chemistry as fixatives or olfactory modifiers.
