(-)-Fenchone

Description:
(-)-Fenchone is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone, primarily derived from the essential oils of various plants, particularly those in the fennel and rosemary families. It is characterized by its unique structure, which includes a cyclobutane ring fused to a cyclopentane ring, contributing to its distinctive aromatic properties. The compound exhibits a strong, camphor-like odor and is often used in perfumery and flavoring applications. (-)-Fenchone is optically active, with a specific rotation that indicates its chiral nature, and it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (-)-enantiomer being the naturally occurring one. In terms of solubility, it is generally soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. (-)-Fenchone also possesses potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmacology and natural product chemistry. Its CAS number, 7787-20-4, is a unique identifier used for regulatory and safety purposes in chemical databases.
