描述
Fenchone is a natural organic compound classified as a monoterpene and a ketone. It is a colorless oily liquid. It has a structure and an odor similar to camphor. Fenchone is a constituent of absinthe and the essential oil of fennel. Fenchone is used as a flavor in foods and in perfumery. Only 2 stereoisomers are possible: D-fenchone (enantiomer 1S,4R is dextrogyre (+)) and L-fenchone (enantiomer 1R,4S is levogyre (-)). Due to the small size of the cycle, the 2 other diastereoisomers (1S4S and 1R4R) are not possible. [Wikipedia]. Fenchone is found in many foods, some of which are ceylon cinnamon, sweet basil, saffron, and dill.
