Gurjunene, also known as (-)-α-gurjunene, is a natural carbotricyclic sesquiterpene that is most commonly found in gurjun balsam, an essential oil compound extracted from plants of the genus Dipterocarpus.[1][2] The following reaction that synthesizes gurjunene can be catalyzed by alpha-gurjunene synthase:[3]
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (–)-α-gurjunene + diphosphate
