β-Pinene is a monoterpene, an organic compound found in plants. It is the less abundant of the two isomers of pinene, the other being α-pinene.[3] It is a colorless liquid soluble in alcohol, but not water. It has a woody-green pine-like smell.

β-Pinene is one of the most abundant compounds released by forest trees.[4] If oxidized in air, the allylic products of the pinocarveol and myrtenol family prevail.[5]
Sources
editMany plants from many botanical families contain the compound, including:
- Cuminum cyminum[6][7]
- Humulus lupulus[8]
- Pinus pinaster[5]
- Clausena anisata
- Cannabis sativa[9]
- Piper nigrum[10]
- Myristica fragans .[10]
- Citrus aurantiifolia[10]
- Pistacia lentiscus[10]
The clear compound is produced by distillation of turpentine oils.[11]
Uses
editβ-Pinene is usedin the production of other aroma compounds. It converts to myrcene upon heating at 500 °C. Nerol is obtained by careful fractional distillation of crude nerol from from myrcene[12]).[13]
Reaction with formaldehyde (Prins reaction) converts β-pinene to nopol. When nopol is acetylated, the result is nopyl acetate, which is used as fragrance material.[11][14]
