Occurrence

Hyssop ( Hyssopus officinalis ).
Pinocarvone without information on stereochemistry

The pinocamphone and structurally similar compounds account for up to 70 percent of hyssop oil (Hyssopi aetherolum). These include between 7 and 25% 1-pinocamphone, 16 to 22% isopinocamphone, 10 to 23% pinocarvone and 7 to 11% pinene . Pinocamphon and isopinocamphon are held responsible for the toxic effects of hyssop oil. They are also found in other natural substances such as labdanum . Since pinocamphone is carcinogenic, the use of hyssop oil as a fragrance is banned in the USA.

Extraction and presentation

Pinocamphon was first obtained in 1892 by Otto Wallach by reducing nitrosopins with zinc in an acetic acid solution. However, the natural occurrence was only discovered by Schimmel & Co. in 1908.

The compound can also be obtained by thermolysis of α-pinene epoxide in isopropyl alcohol in the absence of water.
