Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Monoterpenes of Jack Pine Seedlings and Weight Gain of Jack Pine Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Nine-month old jack pine (Pinus banksiana) seedlings were grown in a greenhouse under four nitrogen fertilization regimes. Levels of total nitrogen and five monoterpenes in new foliage were measured. Fertilization resulted in four significantly different

Caryolene-forming carbocation rearrangements
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013 Density functional theory calculations on mechanisms of the formation of caryolene, a putative biosynthetic precursor to caryol-1(11)-en-10-ol, reveal two mechanisms for caryolene formation: one involves a base-catalyzed deprotonation/reprotonation ...

The chemical space of terpenes: insights from data science and AI [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Terpenes are a widespread class of natural products with significant chemical and biological diversity and many of these molecules have already made their way into medicines. Given the thousands of molecules already described, the full characterization of this chemical space can be a challenging task when relying in classical approaches.

Descriptors for terpene esters from chromatographic and partition measurements: Estimation of human odor detection thresholds [PDF]
, 2020 We have used gas chromatographic retention data together with other data to obtain Abraham descriptors for 30 terpene esters. These include the air-water partition coefficient, as log Kw, for which no experimental values are available for any terpene ...

Terpene Synthases as Metabolic Gatekeepers in the Evolution of Plant Terpenoid Chemical Diversity
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Terpenoids comprise tens of thousands of small molecule natural products that are widely distributed across all domains of life. Plants produce by far the largest array of terpenoids with various roles in development and chemical ecology.

Catalysts, 2021 Terpene epoxides are considered as potential primary intermediates in the synthesis of numerous green polymers including epoxy resins, polycarbonates, nonisocyanate polyurethanes and even some polyamides. In this chapter we describe recent efforts from our group to develop catalytic and noncatalytic processes for terpene epoxidation using a variety of ...
