8-Hydroxygeraniol

8-Hydroxygeraniol (10-Hydroxygeraniol) is a naturally occurring monoterpene that can be chemically prepared from geranyl acetate and serves as a key biochemical intermediate, functioning as a specific substrate for 8-hydroxygeraniol dehydrogenase, 8-Hydroxygeraniol is widely used in enzymology, terpenoid biosynthesis research, and metabolic pathway studies to elucidate oxidation mechanisms and secondary metabolite formation.
