描述
Verbenone, also known as verbenone, (1r)-isomer, is a member of the class of compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. Bicyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Verbenone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Verbenone is a camphor, celery, and menthol tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as sunflower, cabbage, spearmint, and safflower, which makes verbenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Verbenone is a natural organic compound classified as a terpene that is found naturally in a variety of plants. The chemical has a pleasant characteristic odor. Besides being a natural constituent of plants, it and its analogs are insect pheromones. In particular, verbenone when formulated in a long-lasting matrix has an important role in the control of bark beetles such as the mountain pine beetle and the Southern pine bark beetle .
