1-(3,3-DIMETHYLCYCLOHEXYL)ETHYL LACTATE

The systematic name '1-(3,3-Dimethylcyclohexyl)ethyl 2-hydroxypropanoate' describes a lactate ester (2-hydroxypropanoic acid ester) where the alcohol moiety is 1-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanol — a secondary alcohol bearing a 3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl group. This structural class (alicyclic lactate esters) is known in fragrance chemistry for imparting fresh, woody, or lactonic nuances. The compound is chemically plausible and the structure is well-defined. However, I cannot confidently confirm its exact CAS number, its presence in CosIng as a named INCI entry, or its RIFM/IFRA status from authoritative public sources without risk of fabrication. The CAS number provided (1449714-09-3) is a candidate based on structural database searching but should be independently verified. Confidence is moderate-low due to limited publicly accessible regulatory and supplier documentation for this specific compound.
