About Viridiflorol

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Viridiflorol, a process intermediate or related compound of Ascorbic acid registered under CAS number 552-02-3. Its molecular formula is C15H26O and its molecular weight is 222.37 g/mol. The IUPAC name is (1aR,4S,4aS,7R,7aS,7bS)-1,1,4,7-tetramethyl-2,3,4a,5,6,7,7a,7b-octahydro-1aH-cyclopropa[e]azulen-4-ol. It is also known as d-Viridiflorol or Himbaccol.

The product is provided as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Process chemists and analysts use it when developing synthetic routes to Ascorbic acid, tracking process-related impurities and validating analytical methods. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
