(1S)-(+)-3-Carene has been used as a standard during the quantification of components inLavandula stoechasessential oils by fast gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (FGC-EI/MS).It may be used as a starting material in the total synthesis of (+)-ingenol.It may also be used to synthesize (1S,3S,4S,6R)-3,7,7-trimethyl-4-morpholino-4-yl-bicyclo(4.1.0)heptano-3-ol, which can catalyze the addition of diethylzinc to different aldehydes with high enantioselectivity.
