A branched conjugated dienal used as a green fragrance note. Alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes are reactive by design — scored with caution.

2,4-Dimethylhepta-2,4-dienal (CAS 85136-08-9) is a branched conjugated dienal used in perfumery for green, fatty facets. Alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes (Michael acceptors) carry structural alerts for sensitization and mild reactivity with thiol/amine nucleophiles. Dienal class includes known fragrance sensitizers. Public cosmetic-specific toxicology is limited; industry RIFM programs would govern use. Default-down applied.
