3-Thujanone, with the CAS number 1125-12-8, is a naturally occurring organic compound classified as a monoterpenoid ketone. It is primarily derived from various essential oils, particularly those of the Thuja species, which are coniferous trees. This compound is characterized by its distinctive aromatic properties, often described as having a fresh, woody, and slightly camphoraceous scent. 3-Thujanone is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure features a cyclohexane ring with a ketone functional group, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in the fragrance and flavor industries. Additionally, 3-Thujanone has been studied for its biological activities, including antimicrobial and insecticidal properties, making it of interest in both natural product chemistry and agricultural applications. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
