(+)-Fenchol Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

clear slightly yellow liquid after melting

Uses

Solvent, organic intermediate, odorant, flavoring.

Uses

(1R)-endo-(+)-Fenchyl alcohol?can be extensively used in daily chemicals such as fair antiperspirant, textile softener and liquid detergent. It can also be esterified by different kinds of organic acids to expand its usage in flavors and fragrances.

Preparation

By reduction of Fenchone, which may be derived from Cedarleaf oil or from other natural sources, or prepared synthetically from Pine terpenes. One French manufacturer uses Hydration of Turpentine under acid conditions to produce the alcohol.

General Description

(1R)-endo-(+)-Fenchyl alcohol is a bicyclic monoterpenoid that contains a fenchane skeleton. It is a commonly used volatile compound in fragrances and flavoring agents.
