Effects of pH on Interfacial Ozonolysis of α-Terpineol

Atmospheric Intermediates at the Air-Water Interface

The air-water interface (AWI) is a ubiquitous reaction field different from the bulk phase where unexpected reactions and physical processes often occur. The AWI is a region where air contacts cloud droplets, aerosol particles, the ocean surface, and biological surfaces such as fluids that line human epithelia. In Earth's atmosphere, short-lived intermediates are expected to be generated at the AWI during multiphase reactions. Recent experimental developments have enabled the direct detection of atmospherically relevant, short-lived intermediates at the AWI. For example, spray ionization mass spectrometric analysis of water microjets exposed to a gaseous mixture of ozone and water vapor combined with a 266 nm laser flash photolysis system (LFP-SIMS) has been used to directly probe organic peroxyl radicals (RO2·) produced by interfacial hydroxyl radicals (OH·) + organic compound reactions. OH· emitted immediately after the laser flash photolysis of carboxylic acid at the gas-liquid interface have been directly detected by time-resolved, laser-induced florescence techniques that can be used to study atmospheric multiphase photoreactions. In this Featured Article, we show some recent experimental advances in the detection of atmospherically important intermediates at the AWI and the associated reaction mechanisms. We also discuss current challenges and future prospects for atmospheric multiphase chemistry.

Targeting bone cancer with 4-Allylbenzene-1,2-diol purified from Piper betle L.: an in silico and cytotoxicity scrutiny

Piper betle L., a well-known medicinal plant with rich source of bioactive compounds, is widely used in several therapeutics. The present study was performed to scrutinize the anti-cancer potential of compounds P. betle petiole by means of in silico studies, purification of 4-Allylbenzene-1,2-diol from petioles and assessing its cytotoxicity on bone cancer metastasis. Subsequent to SwissADME screening, 4-Allylbenzene-1,2-diol and Alpha terpineol were chosen for molecular docking together with eighteen approved drugs against fifteen important bone cancer targets accompanied with molecular dynamics simulation studies. 4-Allylbenzene-1,2-diol was found to be multi-targeting, interacted effectively with all targets, particularly exhibited good stability with MMP9 and MMP2 during molecular dynamics simulations and Molecular Mechanics- Generalized Born and Surface Area (MM-GBSA) analysis using Schrodinger. Later, the compound was isolated, purified and the cytotoxicity studies on MG63 bone cancer cell lines confirmed the cytotoxicity nature (75.98% at 100 µg/ml concentration). The results demonstrated the compound as a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, and therefore 4-Allylbenzene-1,2-diol may possibly be prescribed in targeted therapy for alleviating the bone cancer metastasis upon further wet lab experimental validations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Stability of Terpenoid-Derived Secondary Ozonides in Aqueous Organic Media

1,2,4-Trioxolanes, known as secondary ozonides (SOZs), are key products of ozonolysis of biogenic terpenoids. Functionalized terpenoid-derived SOZs are readily taken up into atmospheric aerosols; however, their condensed-phase fates remain unknown. Here, we report the results of a time-dependent mass spectrometric investigation into the liquid-phase fates of C₁₀ and C₁₃ SOZs synthesized by ozonolysis of a C₁₀ monoterpene alcohol (α-terpineol) in water:acetone (1:1 = vol:vol) mixtures. Isomerization of Criegee intermediates and bimolecular reaction of Criegee intermediates with acetone produced C₁₀ and C₁₃ SOZs, respectively, which were detected as their Na⁺-adducts by positive-ion electrospray mass spectrometry. Use of CD₃COCD₃, D₂O, and H₂¹⁸O solvents enabled identification of three types of C₁₃ SOZs (aldehyde, ketone, and lactol) and other products. These SOZs were surprisingly stable in water:acetone (1:1) mixtures at T = 298 K, with some persisting for at least a week. Theoretical calculations supported the high stability of the lactol-type C₁₃ SOZ formed from the aldehyde-type C₁₃ SOZ via intramolecular rearrangement. The present results suggest that terpenoid-derived SOZs can persist in atmospheric condensed phases, potentially until they are delivered to the epithelial lining fluid of the pulmonary alveoli via inhaled particulate matter, where they may exert hitherto unrecognized adverse health effects.

Decomposition of multifunctionalized α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides derived from the reactions of Criegee intermediates with diols in liquid phases

The oxidation of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere produces organic hydroperoxides (ROOHs) that typically possess not only -OOH but also other functionalities such as -OH and -C(O). Because of their high hydrophilicity and low volatility, such multifunctionalized ROOHs are expected to be taken up in atmospheric condensed phases such as aerosols and fog/cloud droplets. However, the characteristics of ROOHs that control their fates and lifetimes in liquid phases are poorly understood. Here, we report a study of the liquid-phase decomposition kinetics of multifunctionalized α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-AHs) that possessed an ether, a carbonyl, a hydroperoxide, and two hydroxy groups. These ROOHs were synthesized by ozonolysis of α-terpineol in water in the presence of 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, or 1,5-pentanediol. Their decomposition products were detected as chloride anion adducts by electrospray mass spectrometry as a function of reaction time. Experiments using H₂¹⁸O and D₂O revealed that hemiacetal species were α-AH decomposition products that further transformed into other products. The result that the rate coefficients (k) of the decomposition of C₁₅ α-AHs increased exponentially from pH 5.0 to 3.9 was consistent with an H⁺-catalyzed decomposition mechanism. The temperature dependence of k and an Arrhenius plot yielded activation energies (E_a) of 15.7 ± 0.8, 15.0 ± 2.4, and 15.9 ± 0.3 kcal mol^-1 for the decomposition of α-AHs derived from the reaction of α-terpineol CIs with 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, and 1,5-pentanediol, respectively. The determined E_a values were compared with those of related ROOHs. We found that alkyl chain length is not a critical factor for the decomposition mechanism, whereas the presence of additional -OH groups would modulate the reaction barriers to decomposition via the formation of hydrogen-bonding with surrounding water molecules. The derived E_a values for the decomposition of the multifunctionalized, terpenoid-derived α-AHs will facilitate atmospheric modeling by serving as representative values for ROOHs in atmospheric condensed phases.

In situ analysis of the bulk and surface chemical compositions of organic aerosol particles

Understanding the chemical and physical properties of particles is an important scientific, engineering, and medical issue that is crucial to air quality, human health, and environmental chemistry. Of special interest are aerosol particles floating in the air for both indoor virus transmission and outdoor atmospheric chemistry. The growth of bio- and organic-aerosol particles in the air is intimately correlated with chemical structures and their reactions in the gas phase at aerosol particle surfaces and in-particle phases. However, direct measurements of chemical structures at aerosol particle surfaces in the air are lacking. Here we demonstrate in situ surface-specific vibrational sum frequency scattering (VSFS) to directly identify chemical structures of molecules at aerosol particle surfaces. Furthermore, our setup allows us to simultaneously probe hyper-Raman scattering (HRS) spectra in the particle phase. We examined polarized VSFS spectra of propionic acid at aerosol particle surfaces and in particle bulk. More importantly, the surface adsorption free energy of propionic acid onto aerosol particles was found to be less negative than that at the air/water interface. These results challenge the long-standing hypothesis that molecular behaviors at the air/water interface are the same as those at aerosol particle surfaces. Our approach opens a new avenue in revealing surface compositions and chemical aging in the formation of secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere as well as chemical analysis of indoor and outdoor viral aerosol particles.

Decomposition mechanism of α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides in the liquid phase: temperature dependent kinetics and theoretical calculations

Organic hydroperoxides (ROOHs) play key roles in the atmosphere as a reactive intermediate species. Due to the low volatility and high hydrophilicity, ROOHs are expected to reside in atmospheric condensed phases such as aerosols, fogs, and cloud droplets. The decomposition mechanisms of ROOHs in the liquid phase are, however, still poorly understood. Here we report a temperature-dependent kinetics and theoretical calculation study of the aqueous-phase decompositions of C₁₂ or C₁₃ α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-AHs) derived from ozonolysis of α-terpineol in the presence of 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and ethanol. We found that the temporal profiles of α-AH signals, detected as chloride-adducts by negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry, showed single-exponential decay, and the derived first-order rate coefficient k for α-AH decomposition increased as temperature increased, e.g., k(288 K) = (5.3 ± 0.2) × 10^-4 s^-1, k(298 K) = (1.2 ± 0.3) × 10^-3 s^-1, k(308 K) = (2.1 ± 1.4) × 10^-3 s^-1 for C₁₃ α-AHs derived from the reaction of α-terpineol Criegee intermediates with 1-propanol in the solution at pH 4.5. Arrhenius plot analysis yielded an activation energy (E _a) of 12.3 ± 0.6 kcal mol^-1. E _a of 18.7 ± 0.3 and 13.8 ± 0.9 kcal mol^-1 were also obtained for the decomposition of α-AHs (at pH 4.5) derived from the reaction of α-terpineol Criegee intermediates with 2-propanol and with ethanol, respectively. Based on the theoretical kinetic and thermodynamic calculations, we propose that a proton-catalyzed mechanism plays a central role in the decomposition of these α-AHs in acidic aqueous organic media, while water molecules may also participate in the decomposition pathways and affect the kinetics. The decomposition of α-AHs could act as a source of H₂O₂ and multifunctionalized species in atmospheric condensed phases.

Surfactant-Assisted Ozonolysis of Alkenes in Water: Mitigation of Frothing Using Coolade as a Low-Foaming Surfactant

Aqueous-phase ozonolysis in the atmosphere is an important process during cloud and fog formation. Water in the atmosphere acts as both a reaction medium and a reductant during the ozonolysis. Inspired by the atmospheric aqueous-phase ozonolysis, we herein report the ozonolysis of alkenes in water assisted by surfactants. Several types of surfactants, including anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, were investigated. Although most surfactants enhanced the solubility of alkenes in water, they also generated excessive foaming during the ozone bubbling, which led to the loss of products. Mitigation of the frothing was accomplished by using Coolade as a nonionic and low-foaming surfactant. Coolade-assisted ozonolysis of alkenes in water provided the desired carbonyl products in good yields and comparable to those achieved in organic solvents. During the ozonolysis reaction, water molecules trapped within the polyethylene glycol region of Coolade were proposed to intercept the Criegee intermediate to provide a hydroxy hydroperoxide intermediate. Decomposition of the hydroxy hydroperoxide led to formation of the carbonyl product without the need for a reductant typically required for the conventional ozonolysis using organic solvents. This study presents Coolade as an effective surfactant to improve the solubility of alkenes while mitigating frothing during the ozonolysis in water.

CHEMICAL REACTION MONITORING BY AMBIENT MASS SPECTROMETRY

Chemical reactions conducted in different media (liquid phase, gas phase, or surface) drive developments of versatile techniques for the detection of intermediates and prediction of reasonable reaction pathways. Without sample pretreatment, ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) has been applied to obtain structural information of reactive molecules that differ in polarity and molecular weight. Commercial ion sources (e.g., electrospray ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, and direct analysis in real-time) have been reported to monitor substrates and products by offline reaction examination. While the interception or characterization of reactive intermediates with short lifetime are still limited by the offline modes. Notably, online ionization technologies, with high tolerance to salt, buffer, and pH, can achieve direct sampling and ionization of on-going reactions conducted in different media (e.g., liquid phase, gas phase, or surface). Therefore, short-lived intermediates could be captured at unprecedented timescales, and the reaction dynamics could be studied for mechanism examinations without sample pretreatments. In this review, via various AMS methods, chemical reaction monitoring and mechanism elucidation for different classifications of reactions have been reviewed. The developments and advances of common ionization methods for offline reaction monitoring will also be highlighted.

Comprehensive study of α-terpineol-loaded oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion: interfacial property, formulation, physical and chemical stability

In this study, the interfacial ability of α-terpineol (α-TOH) was reported, followed by its trapping into oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion as active-ingredient and the long-term observation of this nanosystem influenced by the storage-time (410-days) and temperature (5, 25, 50 °C). The results indicated that the α-TOH can reduce the interfacial tension on the liquid-liquid interface (ΔG°m = -1.81 KJ mol-1; surface density = 8.19 × 10-6 mol m-2; polar head group area = 20.29 Å2), in the absence or presence of surfactant. The O/W nanoemulsion loaded with a high amount of α-TOH (90 mg mL-1; 9α-TOH-NE) into the oil phase was successfully formulated. Among the physical parameters, the mean droplet diameter (MDD) showed a great thermal dependence influenced by the storage-temperature, where the Ostwald ripening (OR) was identified as the main destabilizing phenomena that was taking place on 9α-TOH-NE at 5 and 25 °C along with time. Despite of the physical instability, the integrity of both nanoemulsion at 5 °C and 25 °C was fully preserved up to 410th day, displaying a homogeneous and comparable appearance by visual observation. On contrary, a non-thermal dependence was found for chemical stability, where over 88% of the initial amount of the α-TOH nanoemulsified remained in both 9α-TOH-NE at 5 and 25 °C, up to 410th day. Beyond the key data reported for α-TOH, the importance of this research relies on the long-term tracking of a nanostructured system which can be useful for scientific community as a model for a robust evaluation of nanoemulsion loaded with flavor oils.

Effects of Metal Ions on Aqueous-Phase Decomposition of α-Hydroxyalkyl-Hydroperoxides Derived from Terpene Alcohols

We report the results of a mass spectrometric study of the effects of atmospherically relevant metal ions on the decomposition of α-hydroxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-HHs) derived from ozonolysis of α-terpineol in aqueous solutions. By direct mass spectrometric detection of chloride adducts of α-HHs, we assessed the temporal profiles of α-HHs and other products in the presence of metal ions. In addition, reactions between α-HHs and FeCl₂ in the presence of excess DMSO showed that the amount of hydroxyl radicals formed in a mixture of α-terpineol, O₃, and FeCl₂ was 5.7 ± 0.8% of the amount formed in a mixture of H₂O₂ and FeCl₂. The first-order rate constants for the decay of α-HHs produced by ozonolysis of α-terpineol in the presence of 5 mM acetate buffer at a pH of 5.1 ± 0.1 were determined to be (4.5 ± 0.1) × 10^-4 s^-1 (no metal ions), (4.7 ± 0.2) × 10^-4 s^-1 (with 0.05 mM Fe²⁺), (4.7 ± 0.1) × 10^-4 s^-1 (with 0.05 mM Zn²⁺), and (4.8 ± 0.2) × 10^-4 s^-1 (with 0.05 mM Cu²⁺). We propose that in acidic aqueous media, the reaction of α-HHs with Fe²⁺ is outcompeted by H⁺-catalyzed decomposition of α-HHs, which produces the corresponding aldehydes and H₂O₂, which can in turn react with Fe²⁺ to form hydroxyl radicals.

Fates of Organic Hydroperoxides in Atmospheric Condensed Phases

The fates of organic hydroperoxides (ROOHs) in atmospheric condensed phases are key to understanding the oxidative and toxicological potentials of particulate matter. Recently, mass spectrometric detection of ROOHs as chloride anion adducts has revealed that liquid-phase α-hydroxyalkyl hydroperoxides, derived from hydration of carbonyl oxides (Criegee intermediates), decompose to geminal diols and H₂O₂ over a time frame that is sensitively dependent on the water content, pH, and temperature of the reaction solution. Based on these findings, it has been proposed that H⁺-catalyzed conversion of ROOHs to ROHs + H₂O₂ is a key process for the decomposition of ROOHs that bypasses radical formation. In this perspective, we discuss our current understanding of the aqueous-phase decomposition of atmospherically relevant ROOHs, including ROOHs derived from reaction between Criegee intermediates and alcohols or carboxylic acids, and of highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs). Implications and future challenges are also discussed.

Aqueous-phase fates of α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides derived from the reactions of Criegee intermediates with alcohols

In the atmosphere, carbonyl oxides known as Criegee intermediates are produced mainly by ozonolysis of volatile organic compounds containing C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds, such as biogenic terpenoids. Criegee intermediates can react with OH-containing species to produce labile organic hydroperoxides (ROOHs) that are taken up into atmospheric condensed phases. Besides water, alcohols are an important reaction partner of Criegee intermediates and can convert them into α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-AHs), R1R2C(-OOH)(-OR'). Here, we report a study on the aqueous-phase fates of α-AHs derived from ozonolysis of α-terpineol in the presence of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol. The α-terpineol α-AHs and the decomposition products were detected as their chloride adducts by electrospray mass spectrometry as a function of reaction time. Our discovery that the rate of decomposition of α-AHs increased as the pH decreased from 5.9 to 3.8 implied that the decomposition mechanism was catalyzed by H+. The use of isotope solvent experiments revealed that a primary decomposition product of α-AHs in an acidic aqueous solution was a hemiacetal R1R2C(-OH)(-OR') species that was further transformed into other products such as lactols. The proposed H+-catalyzed decomposition of α-AHs, which provides H2O2 and multifunctional species in ambient aerosol particles, may be faster than other degradation processes (e.g., photolysis by solar radiation).

Temperature Dependence of Aqueous-Phase Decomposition of α-Hydroxyalkyl-Hydroperoxides

Ozonolysis of unsaturated organic species with water produces α-hydroxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-HHs), which are reactive intermediates that lead to the formation of H₂O₂ and multifunctionalized species in atmospheric condensed phases. Here, we report temperature-dependent rate coefficients (k) for the aqueous-phase decomposition of α-terpineol α-HHs at 283-318 K and terpinen-4-ol α-HHs at 313-328 K. The temporal profiles of α-HH signals, detected as chloride adducts by negative-ion electrospray mass spectrometry, showed single-exponential decay, and the derived first-order k for α-HH decomposition increased as temperature increased, e.g., k(288 K) = (4.7 ± 0.2) × 10^-5, k(298 K) = (1.5 ± 0.4) × 10^-4, k(308 K) = (3.4 ± 0.9) × 10^-4, k(318 K) = (1.0 ± 0.2) × 10^-3 s^-1 for α-terpineol α-HHs at pH 6.1. Arrhenius plot analysis yielded activation energies of 17.9 ± 0.7 (pH 6.1) and 17.1 ± 0.2 kcal mol^-1 (pH 6.2) for the decomposition of α-terpineol and terpinen-4-ol α-HHs, respectively. Activation energies of 18.6 ± 0.2 and 19.2 ± 0.5 kcal mol^-1 were also obtained for the decomposition of α-terpineol α-HHs in acidified water at pH 5.3 and 4.5, respectively. Theoretical kinetic and thermodynamic calculations confirmed that both water-catalyzed and proton-catalyzed mechanisms play important roles in the decomposition of these α-HHs. The relatively strong temperature dependence of k suggests that the lifetime of these α-HHs in aqueous phases (e.g., aqueous aerosols, fog, cloud droplets, wet films) is controlled not only by the water content and pH but also by the temperature of these media.

Photoinduced Oxidation Reactions at the Air-Water Interface

Chemistry on water is a fascinating area of research. The surface of water and the interfaces between water and air or hydrophobic media represent asymmetric environments with unique properties that lead to unexpected solvation effects on chemical and photochemical processes. Indeed, the features of interfacial reactions differ, often drastically, from those of bulk-phase reactions. In this Perspective, we focus on photoinduced oxidation reactions, which have attracted enormous interest in recent years because of their implications in many areas of chemistry, including atmospheric and environmental chemistry, biology, electrochemistry, and solar energy conversion. We have chosen a few representative examples of photoinduced oxidation reactions to focus on in this Perspective. Although most of these examples are taken from the field of atmospheric chemistry, they were selected because of their broad relevance to other areas. First, we outline a series of processes whose photochemistry generates hydroxyl radicals. These OH precursors include reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and sulfur dioxide. Second, we discuss processes involving the photooxidation of organic species, either directly or via photosensitization. The photochemistry of pyruvic acid and fatty acid, two examples that demonstrate the complexity and versatility of this kind of chemistry, is described. Finally, we discuss the physicochemical factors that can be invoked to explain the kinetics and thermodynamics of photoinduced oxidation reactions at aqueous interfaces and analyze a number of challenges that need to be addressed in future studies.

Proton-Catalyzed Decomposition of α-Hydroxyalkyl-Hydroperoxides in Water

In the atmosphere, most biogenic terpenes undergo ozonolysis in the presence of water to form reactive α-hydroxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-HHs), and the lifetimes of these α-HHs are a key parameter for understanding the processes that occur during the aging of atmospheric particles. We previously reported that α-HHs generated by ozonolysis of terpenes decompose in water to give H₂O₂ and the corresponding aldehydes, which undergo hydration to form gem-diols. Herein, we report that this decomposition process was dramatically accelerated by acidification of the water with oxalic, acetic, hexanoic, cis-pinonic, or hydrochloric acid. In acidic solution, the temporal profiles of the α-HHs, detected as their chloride adducts by electrospray mass spectrometry, showed single-exponential decays in the pH range from 4.1 to 6.1, and the first-order rate coefficients (k) for the decays increased with decreasing pH. The lifetime of the α-HH derived from α-terpineol was 128 min (k = (1.3 ± 0.4) × 10^-4 s^-1) at pH 6.1 but only 8 min (k = (2.1 ± 0.1) × 10^-3 s^-1) at pH 4.1. Because the rate coefficients increased as the pH decreased and the increase depended on pH rather than on the properties of the acid, we propose that the decomposition of the α-HHs in water was specifically catalyzed by H⁺. Fast H⁺-catalyzed decomposition of α-HHs could be an important source of H₂O₂ and multifunctionalized compounds found in ambient atmospheric particles.

Molecular reactions at aqueous interfaces

This Review aims to critically analyse the emerging field of chemical reactivity at aqueous interfaces. The subject has evolved rapidly since the discovery of the so-called 'on-water catalysis', alluding to the dramatic acceleration of reactions at the surface of water or at its interface with hydrophobic media. We review critical experimental studies in the fields of atmospheric and synthetic organic chemistry, as well as related research exploring the origins of life, to showcase the importance of this phenomenon. The physico-chemical aspects of these processes, such as the structure, dynamics and thermodynamics of adsorption and solvation processes at aqueous interfaces, are also discussed. We also present the basic theories intended to explain interface catalysis, followed by the results of advanced ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations. Although some topics addressed here have already been the focus of previous reviews, we aim at highlighting their interconnection across diverse disciplines, providing a common perspective that would help us to identify the most fundamental issues still incompletely understood in this fast-moving field.

Stability of Monoterpene-Derived α-Hydroxyalkyl-Hydroperoxides in Aqueous Organic Media: Relevance to the Fate of Hydroperoxides in Aerosol Particle Phases

The α-hydroxyalkyl-hydroperoxides [R-(H)C(-OH)(-OOH), α-HH] produced in the ozonolysis of unsaturated organic compounds may contribute to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) aging. α-HHs' inherent instability, however, hampers their detection and a positive assessment of their actual role. Here we report, for the first time, the rates and products of the decomposition of the α-HHs generated in the ozonolysis of atmospherically important monoterpenes α-pinene (α-P), d-limonene (d-L), γ-terpinene (γ-Tn), and α-terpineol (α-Tp) in water/acetonitrile (W/AN) mixtures. We detect α-HHs and multifunctional decomposition products as chloride adducts by online electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Experiments involving D₂O and H₂¹⁸O, instead of H₂¹⁶O, and an OH-radical scavenger show that α-HHs decompose into gem-diols + H₂O₂ rather than free radicals. α-HHs decay mono- or biexponentially depending on molecular structure and solvent composition. e-Fold times, τ_1/e, in water-rich solvent mixtures range from τ_1/e = 15-45 min for monoterpene-derived α-HHs to τ_1/e > 10³ min for the α-Tp-derived α-HH. All τ_1/e's dramatically increase in <20% (v/v) water. Decay rates of the α-Tp-derived α-HH in pure water increase at lower pH (2.3 ≤ pH ≤ 3.3). The hydroperoxides detected in day-old SOA samples may reflect their increased stability in water-poor media and/or the slow decomposition of α-HHs from functionalized terpenes.
