  • Applications

    Verbenene (CAS 23733-90-6) is a bicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbon found at trace levels in certain essential oils (e.g., verbena and conifer sources) and is mainly applied in fragrance work to impart green, citrusy, resinous notes; as a synthetic intermediate to access related derivatives (e.g., verbenone, verbenol) in aroma chemistry; as a reference/marker standard for GC–MS terpene profiling of essential oils, agricultural matrices, and consumer products; and as a renewable feedstock in research on catalytic monoterpene transformations (oxidation, functionalization, isomerization) and exploratory in‑vitro bioactivity studies (antimicrobial, insect‑repellent), with commercial use subject to purity, stability, and safety assessments under applicable regulations (e.g., IFRA guidance).
