Description

β-Pinene is a monoterpene that is found in many essential oils and has a variety of uses. It can be isolated from the acetate extract of pine needles or synthesized from pinene oxide. β-Pinene can also be synthesized by reacting caproic acid with sodium carbonate and phosphotungstic acid in the presence of cationic polymerization initiators, such as polyethylenimine, to form polymers. β-Pinene is used in the production of various chemical substances including particle boards, adhesives, varnishes, paints, lacquers, and resins. It has also been shown to have antiviral properties against herpes simplex virus.
