(-)-Cedrene

Description:
(-)-Cedrene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, primarily found in cedarwood oil and other coniferous plants. It is characterized by its complex bicyclic structure, which contributes to its distinctive aroma, often described as woody and earthy. The compound is optically active, with a specific rotation indicating its chiral nature, and it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with (-)-cedrene being the more prevalent in nature. Its molecular formula is C15H24, and it has a relatively low boiling point, making it volatile and suitable for use in fragrances and essential oils. (-)-Cedrene exhibits hydrophobic properties, which allows it to dissolve in organic solvents while being insoluble in water. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. Due to its natural origin and appealing scent, (-)-cedrene is often utilized in perfumery and aromatherapy, as well as in the formulation of various cosmetic products.
