Phellandrenes are a pair of organic compounds that have a similar molecular structure and similar chemical properties. α-Phellandrene and β-phellandrene are cyclic monoterpenes and are double-bond isomers. In α-phellandrene, both double bonds are endocyclic and in β-phellandrene, one of them is exocyclic. Both are insoluble in water, but miscible with ether.

α-Phellandrene was named after Eucalyptus phellandra, now called Eucalyptus radiata, from which it can be isolated.[2] It is also a constituent of the essential oil of Eucalyptus dives.[3] β-Phellandrene has been isolated from the oil of water fennel and Canada balsam oil.

The phellandrenes are used in fragrances because of their pleasing aromas. The odor of β-phellandrene has been described as peppery-minty and slightly citrusy.

The α-phellandrene isomer can form hazardous and explosive peroxides on contact with air at elevated temperatures.[4]

Biosynthesis

The biosynthesis of phellandrene begins with dimethylallyl pyrophosphate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate condensing in an S_N1 reaction to form geranyl pyrophosphate. The resultant monoterpene undergoes cyclization to form a menthyl cationic species. A hydride shift then forms an allylic carbocation. Finally, an elimination reaction occurs at one of two positions, yielding either α-phellandrene or β-phellandrene.[5]

gollark: Your personal computer probably has basically as much single-threaded performance as the best available ones now, give or take 40%, which is actually quite substantial but oh well.

gollark: That probably doesn't help if your thing isn't already parallel.

gollark: GPU acceleration is hard. Running mostly independent things in parallel on CPU probably isn't.

gollark: Does Matlab have some kind of profiler to find the slowest bits?

gollark: Can you evaluate each configuration in parallel in the genetic algorithm bit?
