Mcymene is a lesser-known chemical compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₄O₂, belonging to the class of organic compounds known as monoterpenoids. It is derived from myrcene, a common terpene found in various plants, including hops, cannabis, and bay leaves. The name "mcymene" is derived from its structural relationship to myrcene, with an additional hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to the molecule, giving it a slightly different chemical behavior.
Mcymene is primarily studied for its potential biological activities, particularly in the fields of pharmacology and
The compound is often encountered in essential oils extracted from plants rich in myrcene, such as lemongrass,
In laboratory settings, mcymene can be synthesized for further research, though its production is not industrially
