δ-Cadinol is an organic compound, a sesquiterpenoid alcohol produced by many plants as well as some animals and microorganisms. It is a white crystalline solid, soluble in isopropyl ether and ethanol. It is an epimer of α-cadinol.
δ-Cadinol exists in nature as either of two enantiomers distinguished by the prefixes (+)- and (−)-. [1] [2] The (+)-isomer was identified by E. Shinozaki in 1922 from the leaves of Torreya nucifera and originally named torreyol. [1] The (−)-isomer was isolated in 1951 by Haagen-Smit and others from Pinus albicaulus and first called albicaulol. [1] Its structure was determined in 1970 by Lars Westfelt. [2] Other names were given to δ-cadinol based on its various biological sources before the structures were confirmed, including sesquigoyol for (+)-δ-cadinol and pilgerol for (−)-δ-cadinol. [2] [3] Lambertol is thought to be either (+)-δ-cadinol or (−)-δ-cadinol. [2] Cedrelanol was originally thought to be identical to (−)-δ-cadinol but was later confirmed to have the structure of τ-cadinol. [4]
δ-Cadinol is produced by the fungus Xylobolus frustulatus as long white needles when grown in malt agar medium. [5] It also occurs in many conifers, [1] and in many other organisms including
