Description
alpha-Pinene is a monoterpene hydrocarbon offered at a minimum purity of 98 % for synthesis, identified by CAS number 7785-26-4 and the empirical formula C₁₀H₁₆. With a molar mass of 136,24 g/mol and a density of 0,858 g/cm³, this compound shows a boiling point of 155 to 156 °C and a flash point of 33 °C. It is packed in a 100 ml glass bottle, convenient for preparative organic chemistry and laboratory-scale work. Physical property data from manufacturer Carl ROTH support reliable planning of reactions, distillations, and handling steps that involve this bicyclic monoterpene. alpha-Pinene is used as an intermediate and starting material in synthetic pathways, natural-product chemistry, fragrance-related research, and related laboratory procedures. Its defined purity grade helps laboratories pursue reproducible results when building more complex molecular frameworks. The combination of documented density, boiling range, and synthesis-grade quality suits routine use under standard fume-hood practice and flammable-liquid precautions. Attention to the flash point remains important during transfer and temporary storage in the working area.

Questions about alpha-Pinene, min. 98 %, for synthesis, 100 ml, glass
What is this article?
alpha-Pinene, min. 98 %, for synthesis, 100 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Essential oils & fragrances, inside Natural products & essential oils, in Lab chemicals.
An essential oil is the volatile fraction distilled or pressed from a named plant part. The species, the chemotype and a stated component, when the seller gives one, are the specification. A fragrance compound is a formulated mixture. The two should not be treated as the same bottle.
A natural product is a molecule extracted from a plant, an animal or a microorganism, or a mixture of those molecules. An essential oil is the volatile fraction. The useful specification is the source species, the plant part and, where it exists, the stated content of a marker compound. Two oils with the same common name are not the same article. Marker compounds are identified on PubChem and named by IUPAC.
