Ambergris occurs in only about one in a hundred sperm whales. The yearly use of (-)-ambroxide as a substitute for ambergris is estimated at more than 100 t.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Two partial bioproduction routes to ambroxide have been developed, using sclareol and (E,E)-homofarnesol as key intermediates; de novo biosynthesis of ambroxide has not yet been accomplished. Ambroxide in general is synthesized from sclareol, a component of the essential oil of clary sage. Sclareol is oxidatively degraded to a lactone, which is hydrogenated to the corresponding diol. The resulting compound is dehydrated to form ambroxide. A newer patented method uses homofarnesol as the raw material. This process was stated to require 100 times less agricultural surface than the traditional method from clary sage. In the homofarnesol route, an enzyme cyclizes the C16 terpene (E,E)-homofarnesol to (-)-ambroxide in a single step.

У парфумерії
The most prominent use of ambroxide is in fine fragrance, where it serves simultaneously as a base note and a fixative. Ambroxide is used in perfumery for creating ambergris notes. Ambroxide clings to skin, fabric, and hard surfaces and persists for many hours, which is the basis of its role as a fixative. Ambrox Super is highly diffusive and brings a unique ambery effect from top notes to dry down. It blends well with moss and woody notes.
