About
A macrocyclic epoxide specialty fragrance for woody-green facets. Epoxide group adds a reactivity alert — scored cautiously.
Epoxycyclododecane (CAS 286-99-7) is a 12-membered ring epoxide used in perfumery for woody-green facets. Macrocyclic epoxides are typically less reactive than small-ring epoxides (ethylene oxide), but the epoxide functional group retains a structural alert. Public toxicology data are limited; RIFM/IFRA would govern industry use. Not on EU Annex II.
