Notes:
Nootkatone, an important flavoring constituent in grapefruit, has been synthesized from the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon valencene. Valencene, which is isolated from orange oil, was oxidized with tert-butyl chromate to yield a sesquiterpene ketone having the same physical properties as the natural nootkatone.
