Pinene
Pinene (C10H16) is a bicyclic monoterpene chemical compound. There are two structural isomers of pinene found in nature: α-pinene and β-pinene. As the name suggests, both forms are important constituents of pine resin; they are also found in the resins of many other conifers, as well as in non-coniferous plants such as camphorweed ("Heterotheca") and big sagebrush ("Artemisia tridentata"). Both isomers are used by many insects in their chemical communication system. The two isomers of pinene constitute the major component of turpentine.
