A rare or possibly obsolete hydrocarbon compound with unclear modern usage, possibly related to caraway or aromatic plant chemistry.
Possibly a variant or archaic term derived from caraway or caraway-related plant compounds with the suffix -ene (hydrocarbon). This appears to be an extremely rare or obsolete chemical term with limited documentation.
Some chemical names from the 1800s are so obscure they've basically disappeared from science—carvestrene might be one of them, a name that made sense to chemists who were still discovering that plants had dozens of different aromatic molecules.
