Natural occurrence

Cyclopentadecanolide occurs in small quantities in angelica root essential oil and is responsible for its musklike odor.[1]

Production

Cyclopentadecanolide is produced synthetically by ring expansion of cyclotetradecanone. Another synthesis route is the depolymerization of polyesters of 15-hydroxypentadecanoic acid.[1]

Uses

Cyclopentadecanolide is used as a musklike perfume fixative in fine fragrances and as a flavoring agent.[2] It is a substitute for the extremely expensive animal musk.[1]
