triflaige A (ZEON)

Triflaige A (ZEON), chemically known as 2,5-dicyclopenthyl cyclopentan-1-ol, is an organic molecule with the molecular formula C₁₅H₂₆O and a molecular weight of 222.37 g/mol. This compound belongs to the cyclopentanol derivatives and features a distinctive tropical fruity floral musk odor profile. It appears as a colorless to pale liquid and is recognized under synonyms including 1,1':3',1''-ter(cyclopentan)-2'-ol. Triflaige A is primarily sourced through synthetic organic routes and is registered in chemical databases such as PubChem. Its niche application in the fragrance industry highlights its utility as a perfumery raw material for scent formulations demanding warm, musky, and tropical aromatic notes.

Though not naturally occurring, triflaige A is utilized as a fragrance agent in various perfumery applications, benefiting from its complex musk and tropical fruity scent characteristics. The compound is assessed under standards like IFRA (Global) for fragrance ingredient safety, which guide usage levels and formulation constraints. Its solubility in alcohol facilitates its incorporation in ethanol-based perfume bases, whereas its limited water solubility influences its formulation behavior. The compound's relatively high flash point supports handling in fragrance manufacture. Its application is confined to perfumery, with no authorized flavor use according to relevant safety advisories.

Triflaige A possesses a molecular weight of 222.37 g/mol and exhibits a high estimated logP value near 4.75, indicating significant lipophilicity typical of musk aromatic compounds. It is soluble in alcohol solvents but exhibits very low water solubility, around 2 mg/L at 25 °C, affecting its dispersion and volatility in aqueous environments. Its flash point is approximately 144 °C (288 °F), which suggests moderate thermal stability during processing. These physicochemical parameters influence its handling, safety precautions, and formulation strategies in fragrance products, determining its miscibility and scent release profiles.
