What is Fenchone?
Chemical properties
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.
The Uses of Fenchone
Fenchone is a monoterpene with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It also inhibits β-secretase (BACE1), a drug target for Alzheimer''s disease.

1. constituent of absinthe and the essential oil of fennel
2. used to repel insects
3. used as flavor in candy and baked goods, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
