What is CYCLOPENTADECANOL?

Physical properties

Colorless oily liquid. Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Weak, musky odor.

What are the applications of Application

CYCLOPENTADECANOL has only little more than academic interest, since it has been identified as a component of the Musk from Louisiana (American) muskrats. This Musk was suggested as a substitute for Tibet Muskdeer Musk during World War II in the U.S.A., but the Muskrat Musk was found to be much weaker than the Himalayan Musk.
