(-)-alpha-Pinene, 98%, cont. variable amounts of enantiomer

Description

CAS: 7785-26-4 | C10H16 | 136.238 g/mol

(-)-alpha-Pinene, 98%, cont. variable amounts of enantiomer, is used in food and beverage (incl. additives, contaminants), fragrance / essential oil, nutraceutical. It is also used as a anti- infective agent. It is used as a component of pine resin and a useful chiral synthetic intermediate. Alpha-pinene is the most widely encountered terpenoid in nature and is highly repellant to insects.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
