Ambroxide, widely known by the brand name Ambroxan, is a naturally occurring terpenoid and one of the key constituents responsible for the odor of ambergris. It is an autoxidation product of ambrein.[2] Ambroxide is used in perfumery for creating ambergris notes and as a fixative.[2] Small amounts (< 0.01 ppm) are used as a flavoring in food.[3]
Synthesis
Ambroxide is synthesized from sclareol, a component of the essential oil of clary sage.[4] Sclareol is oxidatively degraded to a lactone, which is hydrogenated to the corresponding diol.[5] The resulting compound is dehydrated to form ambroxide.[2]
