Myrcene

Myrcene is an natural organic compound classified as a hydrocarbon and a monoterpene. Myrcene is obtained from the essential oil from the plants bay, verbena, myrcia and others. Myrcene can also be synthesized by the pyrolysis of pinene.

Myrcene is one of the most important chemicals used in the perfume industry. Because of its pleasant odor, Myrcene is occasionally used directly. But it is also highly valued as an intermediate for the preparation of flavor and fragrance chemicals such as menthol, citral, citronellol, citronellal, geraniol, nerol, and linalool.
