Profile: Tradeasia International Pte Ltd is a chemical trading company. We provide alpha pinene products and soda ash flakes. Alpha pinene is an organic compound of the terpene class. It is an alkene and contains a reactive four-membered ring. It is found in the oil of many species of coniferous trees, notably the pine. The four membered ring in α-pinene 1 makes it a reactive hydrocarbon, making it prone to skeletal rearrangements such as the wagner-meerwein rearrangement. With concentrated sulfuric acid and ethanol, it offers the major products such as terpineol 2 & its ethyl ether 3, while with glacial acetic acid, it gives the corresponding acetate ester 4.
