| Description |
Himachalene, present in cedar oil, especially from Himalayan cedar but also in lesser amounts in various plants, is an organic molecule. It belongs to the benzocycloheptene 1 family of sesquiterpenes, with the chemical formula C15H24. Three variants of himachalene (α, β, and γ-himachalene) exist, differing solely in the location of a double bond around a carbon atom. |
