Jasmone is a natural organic compound extracted from the volatile portion of the oil from jasmine flowers. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that has the odor of jasmine. Jasmone can exist in two isomeric forms with differing geometry around the pentenyl double bond cis-jasmone and trans-jasmone. The natural extract contains only the cis form while synthetic material is often a mixture containing both forms with the cis form predominating.
