Fenchone Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
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
