Description

General description

Farnesal has been reported as specific lipid substrate for aldo-keto reductase 1B10 (AKR1B10). The incubation of farnesol with the protoplast of Botryococcus braunii B race strain leads to the formation of farnesal and 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofarnesal.

Application

Farnesal was used in the synthesis of sesquiterpene nanaimoal.
