Ренейлмол

Description

Reneilmol is a natural sesquiterpenoid of the isodaucane series, a trihydric alcohol. Systematic name: (−)-isodaucane-6α,7α,10α-triol, synonym of (−)-6α,7α,10α-trihydroxyisodaucane. Isodaucanes are bicyclic sesquiterpenes with a hydroazulene framework; in this molecule, three hydroxyl groups occupy positions 6, 7 and 10 with α orientation. The product is left-handed, which is reflected by the prefix (−) in the name.

Basic Attributes

Structure and properties

A saturated carbon skeleton C15 without double bonds - this is indicated by the formula C15H28O3 with a bicyclic structure. Three hydroxyls make the substance noticeably more polar than the hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes of essential oils: the product is not a volatile component and does not go into steam distillation. All three OH groups are potential sites for acylation and other modifications during derivatization.

Application

• reference substance for chromatographic and spectral analysis of sesquiterpenoids of plant origin
• object of structural research in the chemistry of natural compounds
• starting compound for the preparation of semi-synthetic derivatives of hydroxyl groups

Storage and handling

Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Wear gloves and avoid inhaling dust. The toxicological profile of the substance has not been characterized in open sources, therefore it should be treated as a reagent of unknown danger: contact with skin and mucous membranes should be avoided, and waste should be collected separately.
