(+)-α-pinene

Also known as alpha-Pinene(dextro), (+)-alpha-Pinene, 1R-a-Pinene, 1R-(+)-alpha-Pinene, (+)-Pin-2(3)-ene, 2,6,6-Trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene, 1R-(+)-a-Pinene, (1R)-2,6,6-Trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene

Pinene is a collection of unsaturated bicyclic monoterpenes. Two geometric isomers of pinene are found in nature, α-pinene and β-pinene. Both are chiral, and both contain a strained four-membered ring. As the name suggests, pinenes are found in pines. Specifically, pinene is the major component of the liquid extracts of conifers. Pinenes are also found in many non-coniferous plants such as camphorweed (Heterotheca) and big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata).
