Oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one（Cat No.:M008952）, also known as ambrettolide, is a naturally occurring macrocyclic lactone with the molecular formula C16H28O2. It is widely used in the fragrance industry due to its musky, floral, and slightly fruity scent. Found in ambrette seed oil and produced synthetically, this compound is a key component in high-end perfumes and personal care products. Its large ring size and unsaturated structure contribute to its volatility and desirable olfactory properties. Ambrettolide is also biodegradable and considered a safer alternative to nitromusks in perfumery, with good skin compatibility and environmental acceptability.
