BETA-CARYOPHYLLENE Usage And Synthesis


Chemical Properties

Clear colorless liquid

Chemical Properties

β-Caryophyllene has a woody-spicy, dry, clove-like aroma.

Uses

β-Caryophyllene is notable for having a cyclobutane ring, a rarity in nature. β-Caryophyllene is one of the chemical compounds that contributes to the spiciness of black pepper. β-Caryophyllene was shown to selectively bind to the cannabinoid receptor type-2 (CB2) and to exert significant cannabimimetic antiinflammatory effects in mice.

Preparation

Isolated from oil of clove stems and separated from eugenol by treating the oil with 7% sodium carbonate solution, extracting with ether, repeating the carbonate treatment on the concentrated extracts, and finally steam distilling.

Definition

ChEBI: A beta-caryophyllene in which the stereocentre adjacent to the exocyclic double bond has S configuration while the remaining stereocentre has R configuration. It is the most commonly occurring form of <greek beta-caryophyllene, occurring in many essential oils, particularly oil of cloves.

Aroma threshold values

Detection at 64 to 90 ppb

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: spicy, pepper-like, woody, camphoraceous with a citrus background.

General Description

Pale yellow oily liquid with an odor midway between odor of cloves and turpentine.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

The unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as BETA-CARYOPHYLLENE, are generally much more reactive than the alkanes. Strong oxidizers may react vigorously with them. Reducing agents can react exothermically to release gaseous hydrogen. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, compounds in this class can undergo very exothermic addition polymerization reactions.

Fire Hazard

BETA-CARYOPHYLLENE is combustible.

Safety Profile

A skin irritant. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Carcinogenicity

Caryophyllene showed significant activity as an inducer of the detoxifying enzyme glutathione S-transferase in the mouse liver and small intestine. The ability of natural anticarcinogens to induce detoxifying enzymes has been found to correlate with their activity in the inhibition of chemical carcinogenesis (253a).
