patchouli alcohol
Sign in to saveAlso known as patchouli camphor, patchoulic alcohol, patchoulanol, [1R-(1alpha,4beta,4aalpha,6beta,8aalpha)]-octahydro-4,8a,9,9-tetramethyl-1,6-methano-1(2H)-naphthol, (-)-(1R,3R,6S,7S,8S)-2,2,6,8-tetramethyltricyclo[5.3.1.0(3,8)]undecan-3-ol, (-)-patchoulol, (-)-patchouli alcohol
Patchoulol or patchouli alcohol (C15H26O) is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in patchouli (Pogostemon cablin). Patchouli oil is an important material in perfumery. The (−)-optical isomer is one of the organic compounds responsible for the typical patchouli scent. Patchoulol is obtained industrially from patchouli leaf fermentation.
