499-44-5CC(C)c1cccc(O)c(=O)c1FUWUEFKEXZQKKA-UHFFFAOYSA-NBeta-thujaplicin is a monoterpenoid that is cyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one substituted by a hydroxy group at position 2 and an isopropyl group at position 4. Isolated from Thuja plicata and Chamaecyparis obtusa, it exhibits antimicrobial activities. It has a role as an antibacterial agent, an antineoplastic agent, an antifungal agent, an antiplasmodial drug and a plant metabolite. It is a monoterpenoid, an enol and a cyclic ketone. It derives from a hydride of a cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene.

Chemical: 2,4,6-Cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)-
2,4,6-Cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)-: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
The existing information was reviewed by the independent Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety and supports the use of 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)- as described in this safety assessment. Data show that it is not genotoxic. The repeated dose, reproductive, and local respiratory toxicity endpoints were evaluated using the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for a Cramer Class I material, and the exposure to 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)- is below the TTC (0.03 mg/kg/day, 0.03 mg/kg/day, and 1.4 mg/day, respectively). The skin sensitization endpoint was completed using the Dermal Sensitization Threshold (DST) for reactive materials (64 μg/cm2); exposure is below the DST. Based on data, 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)- is a photoirritant but is not a concern under the current declared use levels. 2,4,6-Cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)- has not been fully evaluated for photoallergenicity.
Substances that prevent infectious agents or organisms from spreading or kill infectious agents in order to prevent the spread of infection.
Agents obtained from higher plants that have demonstrable cytostatic or antineoplastic activity.
Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination links with an iron ion. Once coordination has occurred, the complex formed is called a chelate. The iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin is an example of a metal chelate found in biological systems.

CHEMBL48310CHEBI:10447The existing information was reviewed by the independent Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety and supports the use of 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)- as described in this safety assessment. For the hazard assessment based on the screening data, 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)- was found not to be Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) as per the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Environmental Standards, and its risk quotients, based on its current volume of use (VoU) in Europe and North America (i.e., Predicted Environmental Concentration/Predicted No Effect Concentration [PEC/PNEC]), are less than 1.
Preparation1. Synthesis from methoxycycloheptatriene via isopropylcycloheptatrienone and aminoisopropylcycloheptatrienone. 2. Synthesis of Hinokitiol from carvone via a six-step reaction including epoxidation and acetalization. 3. Conversion of isopropylcyclohexanone or isopropylcyclohexenone to hydroxynitriles, followed by two steps to prepare isopropylcycloheptatrienone, and then oxidation, bromination, and dehydrobromination. 4. Reaction of brominated cycloheptatrienone with an organic compound, followed by catalytic hydrogenation. 5. Addition of cyclopentadiene to a dichloroenone to prepare isopropylcyclopentadiene, followed by solvation, and then a three-step reaction to synthesize Hinokitiol. The first four methods have too many steps or the raw materials are difficult to obtain, making industrial production impractical. Therefore, recent research has mainly focused on the fifth synthetic method.
