fenchanen.
/ˈfɛntʃeɪn/ Chemistry.
A liquid that is chemically a saturated bicyclic hydrocarbon of the terpene series, C10H18, and may be considered the parent compound of a series including the fenchenes and fenchone; also applied to some related isomers of this (see quot. 19491).

1949 J. L. Simonsen & L. N. Owen Terpenes (ed. 2) II. vi. 528 By the catalytic hydrogenation of α-fenchene..Zelinski [1904] prepared a saturated hydrocarbon, C10H18, to which he gave the name fenchane... In 1911 Wolff and Kishner prepared from fenchonehydrazone an isomeric hydrocarbon having completely different properties... This hydrocarbon was designated fenchane, whilst for Zelinski's hydrocarbon the name isobornylane was adopted. [Note]isoBornylane is also termed α-fenchane.
1949 J. L. Simonsen & L. N. Owen Terpenes (ed. 2) II. vi. 530 On reduction..it [sc. isobornylol] does not give isobornylane, but a hydrocarbon..termed β-fenchane.
1953 Eastman & Noller in H. Gilman Org. Chem. IV. vii. 656 The most important naturally occurring terpene having the fenchane carbon skeleton is fenchone.
