Description
Caryophyllene (), more formally (−)-β-caryophyllene, (BCP) , is a natural bicyclic sesquiterpene that is a constituent of many essential oils, especially clove oil, the oil from the stems and flowers of Syzygium aromaticum (cloves), the essential oil of Cannabis sativa , copaiba, rosemary, and hops. It is usually found as a mixture with isocaryophyllene (the cis double bond isomer) and α-humulene (obsolete name: α-caryophyllene), a ring-opened isomer. Caryophyllene is notable for having a cyclobutane ring, as well as a trans -double bond in a 9-membered ring, both rarities in nature.
Caryophyllene is one of the chemical compounds that contributes to the aroma of black pepper.
