Terpenes are a class of natural products consisting of compounds with the formula (C5H8)n. Comprising more than 30,000 compounds, these unsaturated hydrocarbons are produced predominantly by plants, particularly conifers. Terpenes are further classified by the number of carbons: monoterpenes (C10), sesquiterpenes (C15), diterpenes (C20), etc. A well-known monoterpene is alpha-pinene, a major component of turpentine.
The one terpene that has major applications is natural rubber (i.e. polyisoprene). The possibility that other terpenes could be used as precursors to produce synthetic polymers has been investigated as an alternative to the use of petroleum-based feedstocks. However, few of these applications have been commercialized.[16] Many other terpenes, however, have smaller-scale commercial and industrial applications. For example, turpentine, a mixture of terpenes (e.g. pinene), obtained from the distillation of pine tree resin, is used as an organic solvent and as a chemical feedstock (mainly for the production of other terpenoids). Rosin, another by-product of conifer tree resin, is widely used as an ingredient in a variety of industrial products, such as inks, varnishes, and adhesives.
Terpenes are widely used as fragrances and flavors in consumer products such as perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products, as well as food and drink products. For example, the aroma and flavor of hops come, in part, from sesquiterpenes (mainly α-humulene and β-caryophyllene), which affect beer quality. They are also components of some traditional medicines, such as aromatherapy. Some form hydroperoxides that are valued as catalysts in the production of polymers.
Reflecting their defensive role, terpenes are used as active ingredients of natural pesticides in agriculture
