(-)-Verbenone ((-)-Verbenone) is an important component of the essential oil from rosemary.

(1S)-(-)-(-)-Verbenone is a bicyclic monoterpene, which is a type of terpenoid compound. It is naturally sourced from various plants, predominantly from the essential oils of pines and other coniferous trees. The mode of action of Verbenone is intriguing; it acts as an anti-aggregation pheromone in certain beetle species, disrupting their communication and reducing infestation levels. This mechanism is particularly effective against bark beetles, which are known to cause significant damage to forestry ecosystems. The uses and applications of (1S)-(-)-(-)-Verbenone extend beyond pest management. In addition to its role as a semiochemical for altering insect behavior, it is also employed in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant, camphoraceous odor. This makes it a valuable component in the formulation of perfumes and other scented products. As such, (1S)-(-)-(-)-Verbenone serves as a versatile compound in both ecological control and aromatic applications, reflecting its dual functionality and importance in integrated pest management and industrial fragrance production.
