Junenol

Junenol is a sesquiterpene alcohol that has garnered interest in the field of natural product chemistry and essential oil research. This compound, along with its isomers like 10-epi-junenol, has been identified in various plant species and is known for its potential biological activities.[1][2]

Junenol and its derivatives have been subjects of synthetic studies, with researchers developing efficient routes for their preparation from natural precursors.[1] The presence of junenol and related compounds in essential oils contributes to the chemical variability observed in plant species, influencing their aromatic profiles and potential applications.[3][4] As a sesquiterpene, junenol plays a role in the complex mixture of volatile organic compounds found in essential oils, which are known for their diverse biological activities.[3]
