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.

The composition of oil gland exudates from two oribatid mites, Trhypochthoniellus sp. and Trhypochthonius japonicus, was studied with reference to the related species Trhypochthoniellus crassus. Trhypochthoniellus sp. contained a mixture of seven compounds; (Z,Z)-6,9-heptadecadiene, geranial, 3-hydroxybenzene-1,2-dicarbaldehyde (gamma-acaridial), neryl formate, neral

Farnesal and 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofarnesal (3-hydroxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-6,10-dodecadiene-1-al) were formed from farnesol when the alcohol was incubated with the protoplast of Botryococcus braunii B race strain. This fact suggests the existence of farnesal hydratase in the alga. Feeding experiments showed that both farnesal and
