The hydration reaction of α-pinene in the presence of natural clays treated with monochloroacetic acid as catalyst to obtain oxygenated compounds was studied. Catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, differential ...

Terpenes, secondary metabolites that are present in the essential oils of aromatic plants, are responsible for the biochemical interaction between plants, known as allelopathy. Monoterpenes are a major component of essential ...

Heteropoliacid acid was used as catalyst for the hydration of α-pinene using water as hydroxyl donor. Since the selectivity of desired products is influenced by the reaction conditions, in this paper we study the behavior ...

Ambrosia is an Asteraceous genus of flowering plants, which has about 40-45 species, and their geographical distribution ranges from the USA, Mexico, and Central America to South America. The aim of this work was to study ...

The isomerization reaction of α-pinene produces bicyclic and monocyclic compounds and other products. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the pre-treatment temperature of the catalyst on the ...

The α-pinene dimerization in liquid phase was studied by using phosphotungstic acid catalysts H3PW12O40, (HPW) supported on commercial silica. These catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and FT-IR of pyridine adsorbed. ...
