Monoterpene - Wikipedia
December 25, 2025 - Geranyl pyrophosphate is the precursor to monoterpenes (and hence monoterpenoids). Elimination of the pyrophosphate group from geranyl pyrophosphate leads to the formation of acyclic monoterpenes such as ocimene and the myrcenes. Hydrolysis of the phosphate groups leads to the prototypical ...
