Verbenol (2-pine-4-ol) is a group of stereoisomeric bicyclic monoterpene alcohols. These compounds have been found to be active components of insect pheromones and essential oils.

Isomers

Four stereoisomers of verbenol are known. For the cis isomer, the two methyl groups (-CH3) are on the same side of the carbon ring as the hydroxy group (-OH), and for the trans isomer, they are on the opposite sides. Again, there are enantiomers of each form that exhibit optical activity, that is, turn the plane of linearly polarized light as it passes through the substance or its solution. trans-Verbenol is a mountain pine beetle pheromone that attracts insects to a tree.[1] cis-Verbenol is an aggregation pheromone of Ips typographus[2] and Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins.[3]

Enantiomeric composition

Typically, verbenol and related cyclic monoterpenes are available as non‐racemic mixtures of their enantiomers.[4] There are methods to increase enantiomeric excess (optical purity) of verbenol and to isolate individual enantiomers.[5][6]
