CAS 543-39-5

myrcenol

Description:

Myrcenol, with the CAS number 543-39-5, is a monoterpenoid alcohol that is structurally related to myrcene, a common terpene found in various essential oils. It is characterized by its clear, colorless liquid form and has a pleasant, citrusy aroma, often associated with the scent of hops and certain fruits. Myrcenol has a molecular formula of C10H16O and features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which contributes to its properties as an alcohol. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water. Myrcenol is utilized in the fragrance industry for its aromatic qualities and is also studied for its potential applications in flavoring and perfumery. Additionally, it has been investigated for its biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. As with many terpenes, myrcenol's characteristics can vary based on its source and purity, making it a compound of interest in both natural product chemistry and industrial applications.
