Description General description α-Pinene is a monoterpene used in industries like fragrance, pharmaceuticals, flavor, and cosmetics. It is a major component of pine oil and turpentine oil. Isomerization of α-pinene yields industrially important compounds like camphene, limonene, and p-cymene.[1][2] Application (−)-α-Pinene can be used: • To prepare chiral γ-amino alcohols, which are used as catalysts for the preparation of chiral 1-aryl-1-propanols using aromatic aldehydes.[3] • As a substrate in the study of its t-BuOOH mediated oxidation catalyzed by Co(II) complex.[4] • As a starting material for the synthesis of polyfunctionalized cyclobutane derivatives.[5] Packaging 25, 100 g in glass bottle
