Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameFenchyl alcohol
DescriptionFenchyl alcohol, also known as fenchol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings. Fenchol or 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-norbornanol is a monoterpenoid and an isomer of borneol. Monoterpenoids are terpenes that contain 10 carbon atoms and are comprised of two isoprene units. The biosynthesis of monoterpenes is known to occur mainly through the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastids. Geranyl diphosphate (GPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic monoterpenes. GPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. It is a colorless or white solid. It occurs widely in nature. The naturally occurring enantiopure (1R)-endo-(+)-fenchol is used extensively in perfumery. Fenchol gives basil its characteristic scent (DOI: Ref:DOI ) and comprises 15.9% of the volatile oils of some species of Aster ( Ref:DOI ). Fenchyl alcohol has also been detected as a volatile component in cannabis plant samples ( PMID: 6991645 , 26657499 ).
