2-Cyclohexen-1-ol, 2-methyl-5-(1-methylethenyl)-, (5S)-

(-)-Carveol is a natural unsaturated monocyclic monoterpene alcohol with the activity of regulating neural excitability. (-)-Carveol can activate or inhibit neural excitability by changing its chemical structure, which has potential significance for the design of targeted compounds. (-)-Carveol can also be used as a fragrance in cosmetics and a flavor additive in the food industry[1].
