Dipentene Uses

Pine oil (usually α-terpineol) is a common synthetic fragrance and chemical raw material with a fresh pine-like aroma. Although it exists naturally in plants such as pine oil and tea tree oil, it is more often obtained industrially through chemical synthesis (such as turpentine fractionation or isoprene synthesis).
