| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Pinocamphone has been made
available mainly for the purpose of supplying
the main component of Hyssop oil, which is
relatively expensive and occasionally scarce on
the market. It is a minor, but highly appreciated ingredient in certain topnote compositions
for fine perfumes, and it is also used to a minor extent in flavor compositions for seasonings, etc. Apart from this special application, there
is no significant use for the subject material
in perfumes or flavors. | [Definition]
ChEBI: (-)-Pinocamphone is a monoterpenoid. | [Preparation]
1) from alpha-PinerIe, via Nitrosopinene, reduced to the title material with Zinc dust or catalytic hydrogenation.
2) from Verbanone - also obtained by synthetic way.
3) from Pinonic acid ethyl ether.
4) by isolation from Hyssop oil (40-45% of
the oil). |
