Literature References: Found in most essential oils which contain a-pinene, but in far smaller proportions; the l-form occurs most commonly. Initial identification: A. von Baeyer, Ber. 29, 25 (1896). Isoln of the d-form from Ferula galbaniflua Boiss. et Buhse, Umbelliferae: B. N. Rutovski, I. V. Vinogradova, J. Prakt. Chem. 120, 41 (1928); from Cynomarathrum nuttallii A. Gray, Umbelliferae: E. K. Nelson, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 55, 3400 (1933). Irreversible isomerization of b-pinene to a-pinene occurs on shaking with platinum black satd with hydrogen: F. Richter, W. Wolff, Ber. 59, 1733 (1926).
