Product Description:

D(+)-Fenchone is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone, specifically the (+)-enantiomer of fenchone. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic camphoraceous, earthy, and slightly sweet odor. Its structure is based on a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane skeleton. This compound is a key chiral building block in organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of other terpenoids and fine chemicals due to its rigid, functionalized framework. Its primary industrial application is in the fragrance and flavor industry. D(+)-Fenchone is a natural constituent of fennel oil and other essential oils, and it is widely used as a fragrance ingredient to impart fresh, woody, and herbal notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and household products. It also finds use as a flavoring agent. As a volatile organic compound, it should be handled with appropriate ventilation. It is generally considered safe for use in fragrances within regulated concentrations.
