Description

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.

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.
