General description

(+)-Aromadendrene, a sesquiterpenoid, is the major constituent of the essential oil of Eucalypfus globulus.

Application

(+)-Aromadendrene may be used as a chiral starting material to synthesize other sesquiterenes such as (-)-apoaromadendrone, (-)-kessane, (+)-spathulenol, (+)-ledene and (-)-isoledene.
