Pinane Explained

Pinane is a set of isomeric terpenes. Existing as chiral cis and trans isomers, they arise from the hydrogenation of pinene. Both isomers undergo reaction with air to give 2-pinane hydroperoxides, also with chiral cis and trans isomers.[1] Partial reduction of these isomers gives 2-pinanol.
