General description

Sclareol, a diterpene compound with a labdane skeleton, is mainly used as a raw material in the fragrance industry. It shows potent cytotoxic and cytostatic effect in human leukemic cell lines.

Application

Sclareol may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of ambergris fragrance chemicals such as ambraoxide, ambrox, methylambraoxide, ambracetal, ambraketal and epiambraketal. It may also be used in the synthesis of (+)-galanolactone, (-)-8-epi-galanolactone and (+)-labdienedial.
