The chemical compound pinene is a bicyclic terpene (C10H16, 136.24 g/mol) known as a monoterpene Ref|Mann. There are two structural isomers found in nature: α-pinene and β-pinene. As the name suggests, both forms are important constituents of pine resin; they are also found in the resins of many other conifers, and more widely in other plants. Both are also used by many insects in their chemical communication system.

Systematic names are (1"S",5"S")-2,6,6-trimethylbicyclo [3.1.1] hept-2-ene and (1"S",5"S")-6,6-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo [3.1.1] heptane.

Isomers



Biosynthesis

α-Pinene and β-pinene are both produced from geranyl pyrophosphate, via cyclisation of linaloyl pyrophosphate followed by loss of a proton from the carbocation equivalent.

Usage

Selective oxidation of pinene with some catalysts in chemical industry give many components for pharmacy, artificial odorants and so on. The primary oxidation product is verbenone.

It can form by simple air oxidation but a synthetic method employs lead tetraacetate Ref|orgsyn.

Pinenes form the primary constituents of turpentine.
