ALPHA-PINENE OXIDE Usage And Synthesis

Definition

ChEBI: Alpha-pinene oxide is an epoxide of alpha-pinene. It has a role as a fragrance, a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a pinane monoterpenoid and an epoxide. It derives from a hydride of an alpha-pinene.

Preparation

a-Pinene oxide is prepared industrially by using percarboxylic acid. Processes based on air oxidation are also known.

Uses

An industrially important reaction of optically active a-pinene oxide is rearrangement to campholene aldehyde (e.g., in the presence of zinc bromide). Subsequent aldol condensation with lower aliphatic aldehydes or ketones (e.g., propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, or acetone) provides unsaturated aldehydes or ketones that can be reduced to the corresponding saturated alcohols. These are used in the fragrance industry as a sandalwood scent.
