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 (–)-α-gurjunene + diphosphate

Several related compounds are known, including β-gurjunene and γ-gurjunene.

β-Gurjunene
