(−)-Caryophyllene oxide is an oxygenated terpenoid, studied for its role as a sesquiterpene in the essential oil of various plants. In agricultural research, it is examined for its potential as a bioactive compound that may naturally deter pests and pathogens, hence contributing to the development of organic pesticides. Its distinctive structure prompts interest in the field of organic chemistry, particularly in synthetic routes involving the epoxidation of sesquiterpenes. In environmental science, (−)-caryophyllene oxide serves as a model compound for tracing the presence and transformation of terpenoids in atmospheric chemistry, which is relevant to understanding biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their impact on air quality.
