Product Information

• Name: (+)-cis-Abienol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (+)-Cis-abienol is a diterpene that is found in the leaves of the tobacco plant. It has been suggested to be involved in the synthesis of abscisic acid, which is an important hormone related to plant responses to water and salt stress. (+)-Cis-abienol may also have insecticidal properties and may play a role in resistance to insects. (+)-Cis-abienol has shown activity as an analytical reagent for the detection of hydroxyl groups, due to its UV absorption at 275 nm. The signal peptide sequence for this compound has been determined by analysis of tobacco sequences. This molecule's phase behavior can be predicted from its X-ray crystal structures and it is soluble in organic solvents such as benzyl alcohols or ethers. The mechanism for the reaction between (+)-cis-abienol and dehydroabietic acid has not yet been elucidated but it is thought that benzyl
