Jasmolin

Jasmolin is a term that has appeared in scattered scientific writings as the designation of a hypothetical organic compound. It is not recognized as a specific chemical in major public databases, and there is no consensus on a single molecular structure or formula bearing this name.

Because the term lacks a fixed definition, jasmolin is used mainly as a placeholder in theoretical discussions, classroom examples, or fictional contexts; the exact scaffold, substituents, or stereochemistry can vary from one source to another. In some uses, it may refer to an imagined aromatic or heterocyclic framework, but such descriptions are speculative and not standardized.

The name should not be conflated with jasmonic acids or jasmonate signaling molecules in plants, which are well defined and have established biosynthetic pathways. Any inferred properties or applications of jasmolin in a given source depend entirely on that source’s specific definition of the compound.

If you encounter the term in a publication or dataset, it is advisable to consult the primary source for the intended meaning and structural details. In the absence of a clear definition or cited characterization, jasmolin remains an undefined or context-dependent label rather than a fixed chemical entity.
