What Is A Terpene?
Any of various isomeric
hydrocarbons C10H16 found present
in essential oils (as from conifers)
and used especially as solvents
and in organic synthesis; (MerriamWebster)
Biological formation of the terpenes
occurs by the combination of two
molecules of acetic acid to give
mevalonic acid (C6H12O4) and
conversion of the latter to
isopentenyl pyrophosphate, which
contains the five-carbon isoprene
skeleton. Further transformations of
the isopentenyl compound yield the
true terpenes and the terpenoids.
