  • Applications

    Selina-4(14)-7-diene (CAS 28102-71-8) is a selinane-type sesquiterpene hydrocarbon found in many essential oils; due to its warm woody–herbal tonality, it is used by perfumers as a nuance builder and as a reference component when standardizing, reconstructing, or extending the olfactory profile of natural materials; analytically, it serves as a chemical marker and reference standard to establish/verify GC retention indices, calibrate GC-FID/GC-MS methods, authenticate botanical origin, and monitor batch-to-batch quality of oils (capturing effects of geography, harvest, and post-harvest handling); in R&D it is a target for oxidation/biotransformation (yielding epoxides and oxygenated sesquiterpenes) and semisynthesis, and a lead for investigating potential bioactivities (antimicrobial, insect-repellent, antioxidant) at in vitro or essential-oil formulation level, as well as for studying ecological volatile signaling; its presence/level is also exploited in chemotaxonomy and for authenticity testing of botanicals and flavor–fragrance ingredients, and it aids flavorists in designing natural blends with woody/resinous facets; in practice, applications most often leverage oils/extracts enriched in this constituent rather than the neat compound, which should be stored cool, protected from air and light to minimize oxidation and odor loss.
