| Application: | (+)-α-Pinene can be used: • To prepare chiral organoboranes, which are used in the synthesis of optically active compounds and in Suzuki coupling. • In the synthesis of chiral pyridine-type N-oxides as catalysts for the allylation of aromatic aldehydes. • To synthesize 2,3-pinane diamine, a chiral auxiliary in several catalysts and reagents. |
| Application: | (+)-α-Pinene has been used in a tolerance testing procedure to detect the genes in Marinobacter aquaeolei, for engineering a pinene tolerant Escherichia coli. |
| General description: | (+)-α-Pinene, a monoterpene, is a bio-jet fuel precursor. It undergoes ozonolysis to produce secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass. |
