Description and Uses

Ambroxan is a synthetic spice with the special aroma of natural ambergris, and it is recognized as one of the best substitutes for natural ambergris. It is one of the most critical trace components of natural ambergris tincture. Natural ambergris is a precious animal spice. It is a kind of stone in the stomach of sperm whale. It is vomited or excreted on the sea surface by the whale, and it emits a special fragrance in the air for a long time.

(-)-Ambroxide can be used:
To prepare (+)-sclareolide through C-H oxidation strategy.
As a substrate in C(sp3)-H alkylation/arylation studies of ethers.
As a substrate in the study of ethereal hydrocarbon hydroperoxidation using singlet O2.
