| Fenchone Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | Fenchone occurs as (1R,4S)-(?)-fenchone,, in fennel oils. It is a colorless, slightly
viscous liquid with a camphoraceous odor.
(1S,4R)-(+)-Fenchone is prepared by dehydrogenation of (?)-fenchol. (?)-Fenchyl esters are obtained, alongwith other compounds, by addition
of carboxylic acids to α-pinene. Hydrolysis of the esters yields (?)-fenchol.
Fenchone is used to prepare artificial fennel oils and to perfume household
products. | Uses | Fenchone is a monoterpene with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It also inhibits β-secretase (BACE1), a drug target for Alzheimer''s disease. | Uses | Fenchone has a wide range of uses, such as: 1. constituent of absinthe and the essential oil of fennel 2. used to repel insects 3. used as flavor in candy and baked goods, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages 4. used for soaps, detergents, perfumes, lotions | Definition | ChEBI: Fenchone is a carbobicyclic compound that is fenchane in which the hydrogens at position 2 are replaced by an oxo group. It is a component of essential oil from fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a fenchane monoterpenoid, a cyclic terpene ketone and a carbobicyclic compound. | Flammability and Explosibility | Not classified |
