PINENE

PINENE

Pinene a colourless liquid

hydrocarbons, α-pinene and β-pinene,

occurring as major components of the

essential oil of pine trees and used as a

chemical raw material. Both compounds

belong to the  isoprenoid series and have

the molecular formula C10H16. Health Benefits: Asthma, antiseptic, cancer-killing, and memory-enhancing

 

PINENE

It is possible to make essential cannabis oil through steam extraction to use in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, candles and also as a flavouring agent in cooking, for candies and beverages.

Isomer of pinene

It have two isomers:

1. Alpha pinene 2. Beta pinene

Both isomers are used by many insects Naturally present:Pinene exist in more than 400 kinds of natural plants, the content of alpha-pinene in turpentine about 60%~70%, beta-pinene content of 20%~30%.

 

Source of pinene

Pinene is a bicyclic terpene known as a monoterpene.it is the main terpene in pine trees, which gives them their characteristic scent.its a major constituent of turpentine and is also found in high amounts in rosemary and cannabis .both forms are present in many essential oils but are mostly obtained from tupentine,and The amount produced depends on the temperature and available sunlight.

Synthesis of pinene

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.

Derivative of pinene

USES

It has activity asAnalgesic-Relieves painAntibactterial-Slows bacterial growth.Anti-inflammatory-reduce inflammation systemically.Anti-proliferative-inhibits cancer cell growth.Antioxidant-prevents oxidation damage to other

molecules in the bodyIn chemical industryselective oxidation of pinene with some catalysts gives many compounds for perfumery, such as artificial odorants. An important oxidation product is verbenone, along with pinene oxide, verbenol and verbenyl hydroperoxide.
