(1S)-(-)-α-Pinene

Ref. 3D-FP159007

Product Information

• Name: (1S)-(-)-α-Pinene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (1S)-(-)-α-Pinene is a terpene that can be found in the oils of many plants, such as pine trees and conifers. It has been shown to have antifungal properties. The (1S)-(-)-enantiomer of α-pinene is an active substance. This compound was synthesized in a computational study utilizing the density functional theory. The molecule contains three chiral centers, which are highlighted in the figure. The (1S) form of α-pinene is a plant cell biocatalyst that enantioselectively catalyzes the formation of 1,3-diols from dicarbonyl compounds with high thermodynamic and kinetic efficiency. The carbonyl group is highlighted in the figure.
